The collective term is "parts of speech" of which there are eight:
noun, pronoun, verb, adjective, adverb, preposition, conjunction
and interjection.

Today's quiz question: what part of speech is "the"?

None of the above - it's an article (the definite article, to be
specific).

It is an article, but articles are in fact a particular kind of
adjective.

Unless they are a particular kind of pronoun, of course.
