Open English WordNet defines lemmas, and areas is not one of them. The nearest lemma it does define is area — a particular geographical region of indefinite boundary (usually serving some special purpose or distinguished by its people or culture or geography). The rule that found it is on the sources page; nothing here claims a grammatical relation.

The CMU Pronouncing Dictionary reads it as eh1 r iy0 ah0 z — 3 syllables, the stress on syllable 1.
