Paper is 3d, it has a small thickness. If it did not, then a ream (500 sheets stacked up) of paper would not be any taller than a single sheet.

The answer is both (it depends on what you're referring to):
The "surface" of the sheet of paper is an abstract object and is 2-dimensional. The sheet of paper itself is 3-dimensional, as it has a non-zero thickness. The third dimension (depth) might be very thin, but it still exists.
For example, take a normal, letter-sized paper of height and width of 8.5-inches by 11-inches. The thickness of the piece of paper is approximately 0.004 inches. Giving you the dimensions: 8.5" x 11" x 0.004"

The paper itself is 3D but you can only represent 2D objects on it.
