Depending upon the context, it can be an adjective, pronoun, or noun.

As an adjective, it means "an indefinite large number."

As a pronoun, it is still actually an adjective, but the noun it describes is assumed.

Examples :

"Many are called, but few are chosen." (implying people)

"Hundreds of dogs are injured in accidents, and many die." (implying dogs)

The rare use as a noun is as a reference to a majority of a group, e.g. the many as opposed to the few or the one.
