The pronoun 'who' is a subjective form of interrogative pronoun and relative pronoun.
An interrogative pronoun is introduces a question. The pronoun 'who' takes the place of the noun for the person that is the answer to the question. The interrogative pronoun 'who' functions as the subject of the question.
A relative pronoun introduces a relative clause, a group of words that has a subject and a verb, but is not a complete sentence. A relative clause gives information about the antecedent (information that relates to the antecedent). The pronoun 'who' takes the place of the antecedent as the subject of the clause.
