It depends on what it is modifying, a noun or a verb. It is usually an adjective.

Nearest is just the superlative form of the adjective near. But like some other adjectives, the comparative forms can also function as the comparatives for the adverb (nearly).

e.g.

The nearest star (adjective)

The new houses were built nearest the cliff (most nearly, adverb)
