What part of speech is barricaded?

"Barricaded" is the past participle of the verb "barricade".

Here's why:

* Verb: "Barricade" means to block something with a barrier.

* Past Participle: The past participle form is used to form perfect tenses (e.g., "They have barricaded the street") and passive voice (e.g., "The street was barricaded").

So, while "barricade" is a verb, "barricaded" acts as an adjective when describing something that has been blocked, or as part of a verb phrase.
