WebSocket is a technology that allows a client to establish two-way full-duplex communication with the server.

The key word in that definition is two-way: with WebSocket, both the client and the server can trigger communication with one another, and both can send messages, at the same time. By a contrast In a traditional HTTP system communication can only be initiated in one direction: from the client to the server.
