No: "the king of the jungle" is a noun phrase, with "king" as head and "of the jungle" as complement of "king". In your other example, "a man" is a noun phrase serving as subjective predicative complement of "is". It ascribes the property of being a man to the referent of the subject "he".

Hi Jack, it looks like you're just learning the basics of English grammar. At a beginner's level, it's simplest to consider a noun as a single word that names something (e.g. a man, the king, the jungle) and an adjective as a single word that describes the noun, e.g. an ugly man, the last king, the big jungle. You may not be aware that our other site English Language Learners is a great place to look for answers on basic English grammar, whether you're a native speaker or just learning English. :-)

In terms of site administration, I'm flagging this as off-topic ("no research/ELL").
