When I start the MySQL workbench, does MySQL server open automatically? (1 reply)

I'd used MySQL before but one year of lack of practice makes me a newbie again, sorry if the question looks dumb.

I launched the MySQL workbench to work with the database, and after connection success I could start interact with the tables.

But I believe I have to first start the database server then I could connect to it next. Does MySQL server start at the moment I open Workbench? Or does the database start automatically after I open the computer?

Where could I see the state of the MySQL server running? Could I close it manually and start if inside workbench?

I suppose if I close MySQL server, then inside workbench I could not connect to it right?

Thank you for any response!
