No, asked is a verb. A verb is a word used to describe an action, state, or occurrence, and forming the main part of the predicate of a sentence. The direct object is the word or words that is the result of the act or the thing acted upon. Example:

"You asked a question." The word asked is what you did (the verb) a question is what was asked (the direct object of the verb).

How do you know if a sentence does not contain a direct object?

A direct object can usually be made into the subject of a corresponding passive sentence. E.g., for part of the question asked, a passive form would be "A direct object is not contained by a sentence" which shows that in the original, "a direct object" is the direct object of "contain". So if a noun phrase immediately following the verb cannot be made the subject of a corresponding passive, that is evidence that the noun phrase is not a direct object. For instance, "a ghost" is not a direct object in "I am now a ghost", since you cannot form a passive construction *"A ghost is now been by me." Likewise, "a fish" is not a direct object in "He became a fish", because *"A fish was become by him" is no good.
