Is who an adverb?

Answer 1

No, the word who is a pronoun, an interrogative pronoun and a relative pronoun.

"Who" is not an adverb; it is a pronoun used to refer to a person or people. Adverbs typically modify verbs, adjectives, or other adverbs to provide more information about the action or state.
