The parts of speech that function as a noun are a noun phrase and a pronoun.
A noun phrase is a group of words based on a noun that functions as a noun in a sentence.
Examples:
A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.
Examples:
Function can be a noun and a verb. Noun: What something is used for. Verb: To have a function.

Yes, a pronoun is a type of noun that can be used in place of a noun to avoid repetition in a sentence. Pronouns like "he," "she," or "it" serve the same function as nouns but refer to the noun indirectly.
The function of a noun is as a word for a person, place, or thing. A noun functions as the subject or the object of a sentence or a preposition.
A pronoun performs the same function in a sentence as a noun, as the subject of a sentence or a clause, and as the object of a verb or a preposition.
A noun clause is a group of words that contains a subject and a verb but is an incomplete thought that can't stand on it's own. A noun clause can perform the function of a noun as the subject of a sentence and the object of a verb or a preposition. A clause is like a sentence that's within a sentence. A noun clause has the function of a noun in the main sentence. For example: "I like Jane." "I" is the subject (a noun), "like" is the predicate (a verb), and "Jane" is the object (a noun). We can substitute for the word "Jane" (which is a noun) a noun clause, such as "that she is so intelligent." "I like that she is intelligent." The entire clause "that she is intelligent" serves the same function as the noun "Jane" did in the original sentence. Thus, it's a noun clause.
The word "pen" can function as a noun.
The word "kite" can function as a noun.
"Mischief" is a noun.
Collection is a noun.
Dismissal is a noun.
