Are the services managed by systemd implemented based on sockets?
Are all (or most) of the services managed by systemd (or sysvinit) implemented based on sockets (either internet or unix domain sockets)?
I have this question, because I am not sure what the concept "service" is. I guess it means a server that communicates with its clients via sockets?
Thanks.

No strictly defined concept. For systemd, it's the . service units, or say the corresponding runtime cgroups. Services are implemented all by their own, sockets may or may not be involved.

A systemd service is just something that systemd can run and manage. So, for example, systemd-firstboot.service is a service that is started the first time after the system is installed, and it performs some configuration, then stops. systemd-fsck-root.service will check the root disk on reboot. And so on.
A fair number of services act as servers (eg cups.service) but not all.
From man systemd.service
A unit configuration file whose name ends in .service encodes
information about a process controlled and supervised by systemd.
