Hello,
Then inch by inch out of the grass rose up the head and spread hood of Nag, the big black cobra, and he was five feet long from tongue to tail.
Is spread here an adjective? IF not then ,What is meaning of it?
Thanks.

"spread" is indeed an adjective. The cobra spread its hood out wide, the way that type of snake typically does. The hood was spread. It was a spread hood. The head and spread hood rose up out of the grass.
