A woodwind instrument is an instrument where sound is generated by the player pushing air though a reed, this is the case with the Bagpipes (which have 4 reed, 3 drone and a chanter) and hence its a woodwind instrument.

Arguably bagpipes aren't unique, many if not most of historical cultures had a form of bagpipe. If you mean in relation to, say, an orchestra, the orchestral instruments were developed at around the same time and close enough to each other that they have similarities and play well together, the bagpipes (well, the Scottish ones) evolved independently of any other instrument and were never designed to play in harmony with other instruments, except maybe the drums.
