If your mom entered with a visa, then you, her US Citizen child over 21, can sponsor her for her green card. However, if mom did not enter legally, it's still possible to adjust her status but it's far more complicated.
As long as you are at least 21 years of age and your mother entered the US with a visa or was paroled, you are able to apply for her and she is eligible for adjustment of status. If your mother did not come in with a visa or was paroled, she would only be eligible for adjustment of status if she is an applicant under §245(i) under which she would either have applied for immigrant visa petition or labor certification application by April 30, 2001, and have been present in the US on December 21, 2020. If your mother is not adjustable, you and she can explore the possibility of her eligibility under an I-601A waiver.
