Is the word therefore a conjunction?

Yes, "therefore" is a conjunctive adverb.

Here's why:

* Conjunctive adverbs connect clauses or sentences and show a relationship between them.

* Therefore indicates a result or consequence.

Example:

* The weather was terrible, therefore we cancelled the picnic.

In this sentence, "therefore" connects the two clauses and shows that the cancellation of the picnic was a result of the bad weather.
