The interface through which external devices are connected to your computer is commonly known as a port. Ports can come in different shapes and sizes, with various types of connectors used to attach external devices such as printers, keyboards, and mice to a computer.
Some common types of ports include USB (Universal Serial Bus) ports, which are widely used to connect a range of devices to computers and other devices, as well as HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) ports, which are commonly used to connect computers and other devices to displays such as TVs and monitors.
Other types of ports include Ethernet ports, which are used for networking and connecting computers to the internet, and audio ports, which are used for connecting headphones, speakers, and microphones to a computer.
Overall, the use of ports is essential for connecting external devices to computers and other devices, enabling users to expand their capabilities and interact with a wider range of hardware and peripherals.

Peripherals
Peripheral devices are hardware items that are connected internally or externally to a computer and are used in data transfer for examplekeyboard,mouseprintermonitormicrophonespeakersgame controller
Everything which the user interacts with or vice versa is called the interface.
External devices which are attached to the computer are called "peripherals."

External devices are used for storage just like internal devices but with the added bonus of being portable and not requiring space inside your computer. This usually comes at the sacrifice of access time or write times. Depends on the interface used for the external device.
The USB interface standard connects external hardware to your computer- everything from webcams to external hard drives to your Ipod. Without it you would be unable to access many functions of cameras and other devices that allow you to upload things to the internet.

Internal components are devices that are either built-in to the motherboard of the computer, added on an expansion card or a device attached to the motherboard by way of ribbon cables. External devices are added to the computer system by plugging them into one of the ports on the back of the computer.
Computer peripherals are external parts of a computer that are not integrated as a part of the computer itself. They are things that you do not need to have to make a computer run and are often connected by a cord.(Examples of Peripheral Devices Below)They KeyboardThe mouseThe screenA printerEven an external Hard-drive could be counted as a peripheral.
