Functions are abstract mathematical representation of relations between the domain and codomain. It can be represented as a key-value pairs, or in the lambda calculus form.
Function can be used as a generic building block to represent information in general. It can be thought of as a primitive kind of data structure. This argument can be substantiated by thinking of Lambda calculus as a generalized way of encoding functions in an explicit structured data format.
