No, the word "her" is not a noun. The word "her" is a pronoun.

The pronoun "her" is a personal pronoun, a word that takes the place of a noun for a specific person or thing.

The personal pronoun "her" takes the place of a singular noun for a female as the object of a verb or a preposition.

Example: I saw her go into the office. I opened the door for her.

The pronoun "her" is a possessive adjective, a word placed before a noun to describe a noun as belonging to a female.

Example: After entering the office, she removed her sunglasses.

The possessive pronoun form is hers, which takes the place of a noun that belongs to a female.

Example: The sunglasses on the counter must be hers.

A possessive noun is a noun that indicates something in the sentence belongs to that noun (used as an adjective modifying another noun, and telling you to whom or to what the modified noun belongs).

A noun shows possession by adding an apostrophe s ('s) to the end of the noun or adding just an apostrophe (') to the end of a plural noun that already ends with an s.

Example: I saw John's car in the library car lot.

The noun John is used as an adjective, telling you that the car you saw belongs to John.
