It's true, the word 'cover' is a noun (cover, covers) and a verb (cover, covers, covering, covered).

The adjective forms are the present participle of the verb, covering, and the past participle, covered.

EXAMPLES

noun: Always put the cover back on the toothpaste.

verb: They had to cover their work overnight.

adjective: The beetles live under a covering layer of moss.

adjective: Everyone brought food in covered containers.

The noun cover also functions as an attributive noun (noun as adjective), for example covercharge, cover letter, cover story, etc.
