Greedily is an 'Adverb.

Remember in English, words ending(suffixed) in '-ly' are adverbs.

Words ending in '-al' are abstract adjectives.

A common mistake is the use of the word 'sisterly'. e.g. my 'sisterly sibling' is incorrect. 'Sibling' is a noun and is conditioned by an adjective. So the statement should read my 'sosorial sibling'. Note the spelling. 'Sosorial is the adjective.

Greedily is an adverb, but the example you give is not how language works. Language need not be (and often is not) consistent, and sisterly sibling is a much more common and understandable phrase than sosorial, which does not even register in spell-check.
