A noun phrase is either a single noun or pronoun or any group of words containing a noun or a pronoun that function together as a noun or pronoun, as the subject or object of a verb.
For example, ‘they’, ‘books’, and ‘the books’ are noun phrases, but ‘book’ is just a noun, as you can see in these sentences (in which the noun phrases are all in bold)
Example 1:
A: Do you have magazine?
B: Yes, I have it.
A: Do you have magazine over there?
B: Yes, it is mine.
A: Do you have the magazine you bought yesterday?
B: Yes, I have it. (Note: ‘It’ refers to ‘the magazine’, not ‘magazine’)
