Cursor: pointer; in project download css files

In the project files for this video there is a line of code in the .box{} labeled "cursor:pointer" that is never discussed. Can anyone tell me what this is and its function?

Thanks!

The CSS cursor property controls the appearance of a cursor when it is over an element. The pointer value makes it use the pointer icon (usually a hand). You can find out more about the cursor property on the MDN page.
