Not at all, rather the motherboard acts as an interconnecting device. Different hardware components are centrally located on the motherboard and work together with software, to ultimately provide you with a computer experience.
The device installed under the bays of a motherboard is typically a storage drive, such as a hard disk drive (HDD) or a solid-state drive (SSD). These drives are mounted in drive bays to provide data storage for the computer. Additionally, there may be optical drives or other expansion devices depending on the motherboard's design and intended use.
The difference between software and hardware is that hardware is a physical object. Software is digital data stored on a physical [hardware] storage device. A motherboard is a circuit board, a physical object, and therefore hardware.
