The word "other" can be used as an adjective:

Example: The ball is in the other garden

("Other" is used to describe the noun "garden", so is acting as an adjective.)

"Other" can also be used as a pronoun - something that takes the place of a noun:

Example: "He put one foot on the ground, then the other"

("Other" is used in place of "other foot". As "foot" is a noun, and "other" is taking it's place, "other" is acting as a pronoun.)

The plural word 'others' is an indefinite pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun for an unknown or unnamed group of people or things.

Example: I chose this one because the others were not as well done.

Note: The singular form 'other' is also an adjective (when placed before a noun) and an adverb (when paired with 'than' as 'other than').
