It is part of the verb "to be".
Today I am.
Yesterday I was.
Tomorrow I will be.
>>>"am", "was", and "will be" are the present/the past/ and the future tenses of "to be".

If it is the logical operator between two items in a decision line of computer code (If A and B then...), then it is a noun. Usually, though, common usage is as a conjunction. The linking verb idea is out because the "and" does not show action, but if there are two actions with an "and" to link them, then that is what a conjunction does. The pronoun is out because "and" is not a person. An "and" in a preposition, as with the verb example, is also in a conjunction function.

it is a linking verb. to be is the root. is, are, was, were are all linking verbs. basically, a linking verb is a verb where you could take it out and insert an = sign and the sentence would make sense.
example: maria is at the market
maria = at the market
