They are interjections since they have no syntactical connection with other words and rather work as sentences themselves.
They are also sometimes considered adverbs.
I hope this helps.

I think they are usually considered "adverb", since they can modify sentences (like some other adverbs, such as "nevertheless" do). They are also called "interjections", but I don't see this as a part of speech. That sounds to me more like a category that means "we made this up because we didn't know what to call them".
Here are some sentences where they are used in other ways:
I have no money. (determiner)
He yessed her so often she was surprised when he said no. (verb, noun)
