Wind energy can be harnessed with wind turbines.
The wind turns a windmill which then turns a turbine that generates electricity using inductance. Also, more 'primitive' applications simply use a windmill to turn gears and shafts to pump water or grind grain, etc.
The wind turbine/windmill has a generator inside of it, which converts the wind into energy!
The kinetic energy of the air molecules in the 'wind' is transferred to the blades of the windmill as kinetic energy of the moving blades of the windmill.
Wind is moving air. Since it is in motion, it has Kinetic energy. It is this Kinetic energy that is harnessed by wind turbines.
In a windmill
First of all, I believe that you have the question a bit wrong. I think that what you want to ask is "What type of energy is in wind" rather than what type of energy is stored in wind. Wind would be kinectic energy which means "energy in motion".
wind was first harnessed in 3500 BC

6000 years ago wind power was harnessed in what now is Iraq.

Windmill composed of 2 energies. One is the mechanical energy. To make it work the force of the wind allows the windmill to run and this process produces the second energy called the wind energy.
The kinetic energy of the air molecules in the 'wind' is transferred to the blades of the windmill as kinetic energy of the moving blades of the windmill.
No; when wind blows the blades of a windmill, that's mechanical energy.
A windmill on a map is typically represented by a small icon that resembles a propeller or rotor blade structure mounted atop a tower. It can vary in design, but it usually signifies a location where wind energy is being harnessed.
