What part of speech is underground?

"Underground" can be several parts of speech depending on how it is used in a sentence:

* Adjective: Describing something that is located below the surface of the ground.

* Example: "The city has an extensive underground transportation system."

* Adverb: Modifying a verb, adjective, or another adverb, indicating that something is done or located below the surface of the ground.

* Example: "The tunnel runs underground for miles."

* Noun: Referring to the space below the surface of the ground, or a system of tunnels or passages below ground.

* Example: "The miners worked in the underground."

* Prepositional phrase: Used as an adjective or adverb, meaning "below the surface of the ground."

* Example: "The water pipe is located underground."

So, without more context, it's impossible to definitively say what part of speech "underground" is.
