", " "what?" ", " "what?" ", " "what?"", and in the offer most often is an adjective. For example, in the offer ""I saw the silver birch standing in the distance"" a participle the word ""standing"" since it answers a question ""what is?"" is also definition. But then there is a fair question of why the word ""white"" is an adjective, but not a participle. The thing is that the participle is formed from a verb.
