Nouns can sometimes function as adjectives to describe other nouns. Some examples include toothbrush, where "tooth" describes what kind of brush, car door, where "car" describes what type of door, and bike shop, where "bike" describes what type of shop. When a noun is used as an adjective to describe another noun, it takes on the role of an adjective by providing descriptive information about the other noun.
