Clarification: calibre stores the metadata in the metadata.db sqlite database file that's found in every library folder. The calibredb command reads and writes to that file, as does the calibre GUI.
The metadata.opf files in the book folders, along with any metadata_db_prefs_backup.json file in the library folder, are the means to restore the metadata.db database should it become corrupt.
