It is a verb. It is, however, a PARTICIPLE, if that's what you meant instead of particle.

Particles are words (most of which look like prepositions) that go along with verbs, such as "up" in things like "put up, burn up, look up".

Participles are a form of the verb itself. The present participle ends in ING and the past participle ends in -ED, -EN, -T, or something else, depending on whether the verb is regular or not. COOKED is the past participle of cook, and COOKING is the present participle.

Participles can be used as adjectives, but they are still verbal in nature: the cooked porridge = porridge that has been cooked; the cooking porridge = porridge that is cooking.
