In a way, yes. The material that makes up the "disk" in a floppy is Mylar, a magnetic substance. Data is stored on the Mylar disk in the form of magnetic charges.

Is floppy disc optical storage?

No. Floppy disks are magnetic media that rely on magnetic polarization to write data to the disk much like a hard drive. Unlike CD media they can be erased by a strong magnet field that effectively scrambles the data tracks.

Why it is a bad idea to place a magnet near a floppy disk?

Placing a magnet near a floppy disk is a bad idea because floppy disks store data on magnetic media. The magnetic field from the magnet can interfere with or completely erase the data on the disk, leading to data loss. Since floppy disks rely on precise magnetic patterns to represent information, exposure to a strong magnet can corrupt these patterns, rendering the stored data inaccessible.
