I think by plugin you mean things like Adobe Flash plugin or winamp plugins. so if i try to answer your question with this assumption, plugins are software.

They are modules that can be added to or removed from a software (browser, music player etc.) which are implemented for a specific purpose (playing flash movies etc.) They are developed with certain restrictions and guidelines which are enforced by the application that hosts the plugin. They are not hardware since you cannot hold them in your hands, you can consider them as just small programs that are installed to an application.
