An optical drive is an input device because it reads data from optical discs like CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. Its primary function is to retrieve data stored on these discs and transfer it to the computer for processing. So, in a nutshell, it's like the librarian of the computer world - fetching information when needed.
