API Gateway vs Web Servers

This question was asked from in recent system design interview. I got stumbled while explain the difference. In my design i created like that, client --> load balancers --> worker nodes server and databases(server handling business logic and data stores).

Interviewer asked what do you know about web servers ? Will you be adding them here if yes/no why ? I simply told them after using layer 4 load balancer and api gateway we will not be needing the web server. But was unable to provide the rationale behind it as i was not clear. Please provide some insights on actual use of web server in our design.

Any help would be much appreciated.
