Answer

talkie,

It's plain to see.

It.....refers to something already mentioned or known  by context.

is......a linking verb

plain....a predicate adjective meaning "clear" or "easy" modifying the subject.

to see.....an infinite functioning as an adverb modifying the adjective by indicating the purpose to which the predicate adjective "plain" refers. 
"To see" in this sentence can mean to perceive by the eye, to understand, or to visualize.

It is plain for the purpose of seeing.

Answer

It is plain to see.
"It" is the subject/noun
"is" is a BEING VERB. This verb does not show action, but tells about something in a state of being.  Sometime, it just is.  For that purpose, you use a being verb, "to be" = "is".
"plain to see" is a prepositional phrase that acts like an adjective, describing "it".

Answer
