Sentence Patterns

Hello Admin,

I would like to know the pattern of this sentence below:

She looks like a nun.

Does the word like functions as a preposition?

Is "Looks like" a phrasal verb?

If it is, then would the word "Nun" function as a direct object of the phrasal verb "LOOKS LIKE?"

Thanks
