The nosewheel does the real turning, either via the rudder pedals (limited throw) or the tiller (much more authority). However, the rudder is connected directly to the pedals, so it will move on the ground as well, whenever the pedals are used.

The tiller overrides the pedals for the nosewheel, but the pedals control the rudder.
