from the dictionary, it means "a function word that is used in place of a noun or noun phrase"

A pronoun is a word that is used in place of a noun in a sentence. It is used to avoid repetition and to make sentences more concise. For example, instead of saying "John went to the store, and John bought groceries," you can replace "John" with the pronoun "he" to say "John went to the store, and he bought groceries." There are several different types of pronouns, including personal pronouns (such as "he," "she," "they"), possessive pronouns (such as "his," "hers," "theirs"), reflexive pronouns (such as "myself," "ourselves"), demonstrative pronouns (such as "this," "that," "these," "those"), and many more.
