No, a linking word is a verb and a describing word is an adjective.
A predicate adjective (also called a subject complement) modifies the subject like other descriptive adjectives, it must follow a linking verb in a sentence.Example subject-linking verb-predicate adjective: You are funny.
The sentence "Jerry looks into the map" does not contain a predicate adjective. A predicate adjective is a word describing the subject that comes after a linking verb. An example is "Jerry looks confused," where confused is the predicate adjective.

"Is" can function as both a linking verb and an auxiliary verb. As a linking verb, it connects the subject of a sentence to a subject complement, typically describing a state of being. For example, in the sentence "He is happy," "is" is a linking verb connecting "he" to "happy."
The verb "to be" is called the "copula". It is also one of the "linking verbs" in English.

A predicate adjective (also called a subject complement) modifies the subject like other descriptive adjectives, but it must follow a linking verb in a sentence.The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object of the verb is a different form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister) or the subject becomes the object (Mary's feet got wet. feet->wet).In the sample sentence, the verb 'are' is the linking verb with a compound object. The object 'height' is a noun and in the prepositional phrase 'in the same grade', also the object of the verb, the object 'grade' is also a noun.So, the objects of the linking verb are nouns, not predicate adjectives. You could mistake the adjectives 'same' as the predicate adjectives, but they are not the objects of the verb, they are describing the objects.
The subject and predicate adjective must be connected by a linking verb, also called copula.
