Outside that you're into murky water where anyone can ascribe it any "parts of" idea.
But Component have a much more specific meaning in software and the concept of Componentry goes back a the early days of building large software systems.

My first impressions of the two is this:

A Component is a necessary part of the system. Without it the application/system will fail.

A Module is a non-essential part of the system. A "Plug-in", if you like.

However it (as always with any terminology,) all depends on the context.
