'Genügend' (enough) is the present participle of the verb 'genügen' (to suffice, to be enough). If something 'genügt' (is enough), it is available in a sufficient quantity.
Ein einfaches „Danke“ genügt mir schon.
A simple 'thank you' is enough for me.
A special feature of 'genügend' (enough) is that before a noun it is often not declined. This form is very common and correct.
Hast du genügend Geld dabei?
Do you have enough money with you?
The word is often used with abstract or uncountable nouns to express a sufficient amount. Typical phrases are 'genügend Zeit' (enough time), 'genügend Platz' (enough space), 'genügend Geld' (enough money), or 'genügend Schlaf' (enough sleep).
Achte darauf, genügend Schlaf zu bekommen.
Make sure you get enough sleep.

'genug' and 'genügend' both mean that the amount or degree is sufficient. 'genug' is very normal in everyday language and can come before or after a noun, for example 'genug Geld' or 'Geld genug' (enough money). 'genügend' sounds a little more factual and often stands like an adjective before a noun, for example 'genügend Zeit' (enough time). Learners may confuse the words because the meaning is almost the same. In practice: in normal conversation, 'genug' is usually simpler and more natural; 'genügend' works well in somewhat more formal or more precise sentences.
Für die Wanderung nehmen wir genügend Essen und Wasser mit.
We are taking enough food and water with us for the hike.
Vor dem Termin habe ich noch genug Zeit für einen Kaffee.
Before the appointment, I still have enough time for a coffee.
