I can say that I use it accidentally without realising(at first) it was a PWA website. So, Im just gonna tell it in layman term. From what I can tell, its a website, but definitely felt more like an app rather than a website.

the best way to understand it is just to try it. Its just a website(PWA) pinned to your homescreen, so theres not much cost to try it.

Sounds very diffuse. I can pin any mobile website to my homescreen but I presume that alone doesn't make it a PWA.
PWA apps can run from home screen without address bar, with splashscreen and you can use things like ServiceWorkers (some things can run in background, better caching/storage, you can even run your app offline showing information/data/whatever from last time you synced with backend server).
