The word 'who' is not a noun.

The word 'who' is a pronoun, an interrogativepronoun and a relative pronoun.

A noun is a word for a person, place, or thing.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

An interrogative pronoun is introduces a question; the pronoun takes the place of the noun that is the answer.

Example: Who is your teacher? Mr. Lincoln is my teacher.

A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause (a group of words with a subject and a verb but is not a complete sentence) that 'relates' information about its antecedent.

Example: The person who phoned was your teacher.
