There does not exist a category of science to which one can give the name applied science. There are science and the applications of science, bound together as the fruit of the tree which bears it.
Meaning of the quote
The quote means that there is no clear separation between science and how we use it. Science and its applications are connected, like a tree and its fruit. You can't have one without the other. Science leads to new discoveries, which then lead to new ways to use that knowledge. They are all part of the same process, not separate things. Science and its applications are deeply connected, like a tree and its fruit.
