I approach D&D as being primarily about exploration: delving into the mysterious depths of the underworld, mapping and taming the wilderness, seeking lost cities and fabulous wealth. While I don't think this is the only way to approach the game, I think it's an approach with an exceptionally fine fit. That is, a lot of the rules and traditions of D&D work well with this approach (or are flat-out designed for it). Obviously combat and adventure follow directly from a theme of exploration.
The first adventure I ever ran was the module In Search of the Unknown. That title is a pretty good summary of what I see D&D being about.
