Would it be an adjective or not? I am so confused!

Is this the full sentence??
I've gone over every rule. The word plenty doesn't seem to be pointing to Think. It's displaying a description to something else. plenty and plentiful usually are associated with nouns
which would make it an adjective.
an adjective modifies points out and limits a noun
red apple, two red apples, that red apple.. so on
In this sentence THINK is definitely a verb. it's a command
but the noun is not understood. If I am reading it right
the noun is an understood.. YOU.. if you diagram it
the subject line would be left blank. YOU.. think again
I'm going to say YES plenty is an adjective.
forgive me if I am wrong but I haven't been to school in years.
I'm trying to go over in my head all the rules..

In this case, 'plenty' is a noun. The constuction using 'there' or 'it' followed by a form of 'to be' (there are, it is, there has been, etc.) is called an expletive constuction. An expletive constuction is one of the cases in English in which the normal subject-verb word order is reversed and the subject follows the verb. In this case, 'plenty' is the subject of the verb 'are'.
Look at it this way - what else could possibly be the subject of 'are'? It is the only word in the clause that could possibly be a subject.

plenty is a describing word. you are describing how much there is of something so yes to me it is an adjective

If you wrote..
..there are plenty of (something.)
then plenty would be the adjective.
There needs to be a noun in your sentence.
