Because is NOT a noun at all. It is a conjunction. There are eight parts of speech: Noun, verb, pronoun, preposition, adjective, adverb, interjections, and conjunctions. Conjunctions link words, phrases, and clauses.

Because is a subordinating conjunction where a word, phrase, or clause is dependent on another clause. The most common subordinating conjunctions are "after," "although," "as," "because," "before," "how," "if," "once," "since," "than," "that," "though," "till," "until," "when," "where," "whether," and "while."

Example: She went home because she was so tired.

She went home is an independent clause upon which because she was so tired is dependent. Because acts as the link between the dependent clause she was so tired and the independent clause She went home. The dependent clause is subordinate to the independent clause.
