Is WETH an ERC20 token?

I'm trying to understand if WETH, which stands for Wrapped Ethereum, is classified as an ERC20 token. I've heard that WETH is a tokenized version of Ethereum that allows for interoperability with other ERC20 tokens, but I need confirmation on whether it actually meets the ERC20 standard. Is WETH an ERC20 token?
