Yes, "is" is a linking verb that connects the subject of a sentence to a subject complement, indicating a state or condition. It does not show action but rather serves to link or describe the subject.
The easy way to recognize a linking verb is that a linking verb acts as an equals sign, the object is a form of the subject (Mary is my sister. Mary=sister); or the subject becomes the object (My feet got wet. feet->wet). A linking verb simply links the subject to the object. The linking verbs are usually a form of the verb to be or become, but other verbs can link. Examples: Linking: I consider myself a genius. Not linking: My mother considers me a genius.
