Yes, the word 'my' is a pronoun called a possessive adjective.

A possessive adjective is placed before a noun to take the place of a possessive noun.

The possessive adjectives are: my, your, his, her, its, our, their.

The possessive adjective 'my' takes the place of the possessive noun for the person speaking. When someone speaks of something that refers to him/herself, they normally do not use their own name or other noun.

Mary would not say, "That is Mary's car.", she would say, "That is my car."

John would not say, "That is the man's hat.", he would say, "That is my hat."

The other type of pronoun that indicates possession is called a possessive pronoun.

A possessive pronoun takes the place of a noun that belongs to someone or something.

The possessive pronouns are: mine, yours, his, hers, its, ours, theirs.

Example: John said, "That hat is mine." (the pronoun "mine" takes the place of the noun "hat", indicating John's ownership).
