Is a prop shaped like a airfoil?
Yes. Propeller blades are much like the wings of an airplane. On a propeller the airfoil chord, twist and camber are change drastically from root to tip - more than on a wing.

How is an airfoil shaped?
Each aircraft has a different shaped airfoil. The purpose of the airfoil shape is to reduce drag over a range of speeds which the aircraft wing operates at while providing the least possible drag at the cruising speed (regular flight speed) in order to ensure good performance.
