Is jQuery UI considered a jQuery Plugin?
It is not a single plugin but a collection of plugins and UI widgets.
Is it possible to use jQuery UI without jQuery?
No, jQuery UI is built on top of jQuery.

It is a series of plugins, and you don't have to add the whole thing if you dont want. You can download just what you need to save some page weight.
note: you do need the core to do anything

jQuery UI is an official jQuery project which provides UI plugins, widgets, effects, interactions and theming.

I would call it more of an extension to jQuery. It does use the core jQuery Library, which makes sense otherwise there would be 2 versions.
