Difference between serum and toner? (self.beauty)

I'm very new to skincare and i don't know a lot but i had a question and i think this is the right place for it. There's a serum and a toner from the same brand both of which have the same ingredients (as far as i could tell), the difference is that one is a serum while the other is a toner. What differences are there? Should i get another toner and get the serum? Or get them both?

Serum is viscous, almost milky. Toner is watery. Typical rule is for me: cleansing routine (I use a scrub then a foaming cleanser), followed by toner for hydration and exfoliation, followed by serum for spot treatment, followed by moisturizer.
