The interviewer is asking because they want to know that you have reviewed the job description. They also want to know that you are excited and know why you want to join the company.
Do not share that you are just looking for a job and thought you would apply and see how it went. Avoid discussing that you just hope it works out and haven't really researched the position at all.
Share what you have read about the role and what you think you will be the most successful in at the beginning. Discuss one or two things that you think you will enjoy most about the role or the company.
"I am looking forward to this role because I am ready to take a step into a new industry. I think I have outgrown my previous role and this one excites me because it offers new challenges. I like learning new things and think my past experience will allow me to thrive in a new industry. I really like all the things I have heard about the company culture and am excited to be considered."
