Not so.

While it is true that 1/8" plywood is often used as underlayment,
"underlayment" is not any specific size or type of material.

You need to tell that to Home Depot as that is what it is labelled as.

Not my job.

Besides, I don't use Home Depot's labeling as my go-to source for definitions.
They call lots of things "underlayment" and you know what? If you use the
Material drop down on this page, they don't even list "wood" as a choice
for an underlayment material, yet they label one of their wood sheet goods
as such.
