Yes, the word 'adults' is the plural form of the noun 'adult'. The noun 'adults' performs all of the functions of a noun, as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition. Examples:

Adults should set the example for the children in their care. (subject of the sentence)

The party is for adults only. (object of the preposition 'for')
