The usage of "above"
"Above" can be used as a preposition and an adverb, I have learned. But some people use "above" as a noun. They write "All of the above are correct.", "The above explaination is good", etc. I suspect that it can be used as a noun.
Are they correct in English usage?

Yes, they are correct. In your second sentence, 'above' is an adjective though.
