No, the word 'instead' is an adverb, a word that modifies a verb as 'in place of' or 'preferably'.

Examples:

I ordered the blue but the green came instead.

Instead of walking, we rode the bus.

A noun is a word for a person, a place, or a thing, for example:

person = friend, mother, neighbor, manager, actor;

place = city, country, continent, park, island;

thing = bird, apple, house, tulip, question.
