What part of speech is the italicized word in the sentence below?

This is a complex sentence.
To determine whether a sentence is compound or complex, we need to look at its structure and the presence of coordinating or subordinating conjunctions.
In the given sentence, "They were lovely people" is an independent clause because it can stand alone as a complete sentence. The second part, "the kind you might meet anywhere," is a subordinate clause. It begins with the subordinating conjunction "the kind," which shows that it depends on the main clause for its complete meaning.
Since the sentence contains an independent clause and a subordinate clause, it is classified as a complex sentence.
