They're adjectives derived from a verb. As a general rule, you can use the past participle of a verb as an adjective, and its meaning is similar to what it would mean in the passive voice.
E.g.
"The window is broken." - "Broken" is considered an adjective here, but the meaning doesn't change if you consider this sentence to in the pasive voice. In a sentence like "I see a broken window", "broken" can only be considered an adjective.
Whenever you see an adjective ending in "en" or "ed", you should check to see if it's derived from a verb, and then you can figure out exactly what it means e.g. annoyed, bored, excited, forgotten, fallen, mistaken etc.
Adjectives that describe people or things doing something are derived from the continuous forms of verbs.
"It is interesting." - It doesn't matter if you consider "interesting" an adjective or if you consider this sentence to be in the present continuous, the meaning is the same. "Interesting" can only be considered an adjective in sentences like "The interesting story...".
