What? Yes there is. It's called "Terminal" and it's in the Utilities folder.

Or, if you install X.11, you can run xterm if you prefer.

If it was running classic MacOS - 9.x or earlier, from the 1980s or
1990s - then, no, there is no CLI. That family of OSs *has* no
command-line; it was a pure-GUI system from version 1.0 in 1984. If
you really want a sort of command-line on an old classic MacOS box,
then you can install the Mac Programmer's Workbench which has a sort
of a shell.
