Because when you strike a key (press it down) the mechanism strikes a felt tipped hammer against the string to produce the note.
A Piano can be considered as Percussion instrument because whenever you press down on a key, A little hammer on the inside hits a string causing the string inside the Piano to vibrate. The vibration of the strings are what causes it to produce the sound the piano makes. Furthermore, a piano can be classified as a Idiophone because the hammers that hit the strings are what causes the string to vibrate. Piano cannot only be classified as a Percussion Instrument but also a stringed instrument.
