How can the word “benchmark” be a noun?
I was taught in my high school that a noun can be a person, place, animal or a thing? The word "benchmark" does not qualify to be any one of them yet it is considered as a noun
Can someone please explain me how?

A noun can also be an abstract thought, idea, or concept. It doesn't have to be a physical object to be considered a noun.
A good example is that numbers (1, 2, 3...) are also considered nouns.
