Short answer: YES, the sunflower can be considered an herb.
The sunflower (Helianthus annuus) is a flowering annual dicot. As an annual, it is a herbaceous plant instead of a woody plant. It is no longer used as a medicinal herb, as it was by Native Americans many centuries ago. An herb is defined as any plant used for flavoring, food, medicine or perfume. The sunflower seed is used for human food, and the sunflower leaf and seed can be used for livestock feed; therefore, the sunflower can be classified as an herb.
