* Adverb: Describing the direction or position of something (e.g., "Look up!", "The sun is up.")
* Preposition: Showing the position of something relative to another (e.g., "The book is up on the shelf.", "He climbed up the mountain.")
* Phrasal verb component: Part of a verb phrase, adding meaning to the verb (e.g., "Wake up!", "Give up.")
Without more context, it's impossible to say for sure which part of speech "up" is.
