yes it is a verb. a verb is either a state or naming word

Actually, that is not true. The root word for hungry, hunger, is the verb. Hungry is an adjective because it is "describing" one's state of well being. Any word that "describes" something is an adjective.

To clarify how hungry is an adjective use the following example sentence:

"I am hungry."

Subject: I

Verb: am

Adjective: Hungry; example question to determine this: What am I? Hungry.

Adjectives ask the questions What is, What are and What am.
