What do we call "twenty-nine" in "twenty-nine year old"?
She's twenty-nine year old.
Is twenty-nine here an adjective or a number?

It should either be "She's twenty-nine years old" or "she's a twenty-nine-year-old (woman)."
In the first, "twenty-nine years" functions as a adverb phrase modifying the adjective "old".
In the second, "twenty-nine-year-old" is a adjective phrase modifying an elliptical noun that was likely mentioned in a prior sentence.

The correct form is either:
'She's twenty-nine years old.' or 'She's a twenty-nine year old.'
It really doesn't matter whether 'twenty nine' is an adjective, a noun or a cucumber. The important thing about grammar is to get it right.

She's twenty-nine years old.
You write "years" with s, since there are twenty-nine of them.
Twenty-nine is a number.
"I have a twenty-nine-year-old sister."
"My daughter is a twenty-nine-year-old."
Twenty-nine-year-old is an adjective.
