As a verb like can mean to enjoy or approve of.
For example:-
"I like your new car."
Like can also mean similar to or in the same way.
For example:-
Q. "What does he look like?"
A. "He looks like his brother."
The expression would like is used when we make requests and offers.
For example:-
"I' d like another glass of wine, please."
However "What is he/she/it like?" is a specific question about the personality of someone or the attributes of something, here you do not use like in the answer.
For example:-
Q. "What is he like?" - A. "He is very nice."
Q. "What is it like?" - A. "It is very reliable."
