passive source
A passive source refers to a source of information or energy that does not actively create or generate the item being sourced, but instead stores, accumulates, or enables access to it. Unlike active sources that produce, contribute or put out an output through their own activities, passive sources primarily function as repositories or channels. The term can be applied in various fields such as networking, information technology, energy production, and research.
