About
それ is a so-called 「こそあど」word, that can be translated as "that". それ's set of こそあど words includes これ, それ, あれ, and どれ.
それ, and other こそあど words starting with そ, refer to things closer to the listener than to the speaker. However, if the listener and the speaker are quite near each other, それ instead refers to things slightly far from both of them.
それ may also refer to concepts, or topics of conversation, rather than physical things.
Grammatically, それ is a pronoun, which means that it directly substitutes for the noun it refers to. This distinguishes it from other こそあど words, such as その, that attach to nouns, rather than substitute for them.
