The word 'the' is not a noun or a pronoun.
The word 'the' is a part of speech called an article, a word that precedes a noun to clarify that noun.
The article 'the' is a definite article, a word that tells us that the noun that follows is a specific person or thing.
The other articles are 'a' and 'an'. They are called indefinite articles, used to indicate that the noun that follows is any person or thing.

Examples:
I heard a dog barking last night. (some dog, any dog)
I heard the dog barking last night. (a specific dog known to the speaker and the listener)
