Is the word there a preposition?

No, "there" is not a preposition. It's an adverb.

Here's why:

* Prepositions show the relationship between a noun or pronoun and another word in the sentence. They typically answer questions like "where?", "when?", or "how?"

* Example: "The book is on the table." ("On" shows the relationship between the book and the table.)

* Adverbs modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs. They tell us how, when, where, or to what extent something happens.

* Example: "The cat sat there." ("There" tells us where the cat sat.)
