An adverb is a word that qualifies a verb, an adjective or another adverb in a sentence.
Look at the following sentences:

(iii)The snail is moving too slowly.
In sentence (i), the word fast qualifies the verb running. In sentence (ii), the word very qualifies the adjective beautiful In sentence (iii), the word too qualifies the adverb slowly.
Fast, very, too are therefore, adverbs.
