It also enables the server to confirm the identity of the client with client certificates.
Do you need to trust your own certificate in TLS?

How are certificates sent from server to client?
Server certificates are sent from the server to the client so that the client can obtain a public key for the server and ensure that the server has been verified by a certification authority. Certificates can contain different types of data.
Can a browser ignore a root certificate in a certificate bundle?
The certificate bundle should only include the certificate’s public key, and the public key of any intermediate certificate authorities. Browsers will only trust certificates that resolve to roots that are already in their trust store, they will ignore a root certificate sent in the certificate bundle (otherwise, anyone could send any root).
