Answer
"Why" and "how" are interrogative adverbs used to ask questions. They introduce questions about reasons (why) and methods or conditions (how). They can also function as relative adverbs in complex sentences (I know why she left; She explained how it works) or subordinating conjunctions connecting dependent clauses to main clauses.
