Is serialization the process of transmitting or conversion?

I have watched some videos about Serialization, and I am confused whether it refers to the process of converting the data, or transmitting it?

Let's say I have a node.js backend and a react frontend. The frontend needs to process some data, so it JSON.parse({"name":"John"}) and sends it to the backend, and it JSON.stringify(request.param) it.

The process of parsing and stringifying is the serialization and deserialization, or is it the transmission?

Stringifying is serialization (aka encoding), parsing is deserialization (aka decoding).
