Are dwarf stars not stars?
No, because they aren’t undergoing hydrogen fusion due to their insufficient mass.

That doesn’t seem to be entirely accurate.
TIL the Sun is not a star.
Thr sun is a G type main sequence star that is undergoing hydrogen fusion. Proper astronomers don’t refer to it as a yellow dwarf anymore for that exact reason.
