The word 'investigate' is a verb, meaning to systematically carry out a search or formal inquiry. Example sentence:

Our experiment was an effort to investigate the manufacturer's claim.

The noun forms for the verb to investigate are investigator, investigation, and the gerund investigating.

A pronoun is a word that stand in place of a noun. For example: "boy" is a noun, and the pronoun that can replace it is "he." The boy went to school. He saw his friends there. Common pronouns are I, you, he, she, it, we, and they. So, the word "investigate" cannot be a pronoun. And it also cannot be a noun. A noun is a person (Joe, Maria, teacher, doctor), a place (Boston, Italy, Mount Olympus), or a thing (book, dog, telephone). The word "investigate" means to look for a reason or a cause, to try to solve a mystery. It shows action, and that means it is a verb.
