Is plethora an adverb or adjective?
It is neither an adjective nor an adverb. "Plethora" is a noun.
Use it like you might use the nouns "abundance" "quantity" or "excess", when what you want to convey is "huge amount" or "overabundance".
I don't think it is often pluralized; have never seen that, anyway.
Also rare would be its adjective form "plethoric", leading to a stretch to make the adverb "plethorically".
Good for "plethora" for being one of those words that has very very few relatives in the language!
No, it is a plural noun. The singular (year) can be a noun adjunct, and there is an adverb, yearly.

No, it is an adjective (not edible). There is a rarely used adverb form, inedibly.
