Question about terminology

Hello, I have a technical question. Why aren’t these called possessive pronouns? Is the term interchangeable with possessive adjectives? It’s been a long time since I’ve been in school, but I don’t remember the term “possessive adjectives” at all.  Thank you.

This question relates to:French lesson "Notre/nos/votre/vos/leur/leurs = our/your/their (French Possessive Adjectives)"
