It can be either but is practically always an adjective(difficult, tending to impede confidence), as in a daunting task. It is the present participle of the archaic verb "to daunt" which is otherwise seldom seen.

The word "daunting" is the present participle of the verbto daunt. The present participle of the verb also functions as an adjective and a gerund, a verbal noun.

The gerund "daunting" is an abstract noun as a word for the seeming difficulty or impossibility of achieving something; a word for a concept.
