What does the verb "tower" mean? Is it common to use the word "tower" as a verb, not noun?

Yes, "tower" is actually a verb as well, meaning to rise or reach a tall height. In this video, we can see that the speaker has used this expression to describe the chick's action of rising to its full height. The chick is actually quite small, so the use of "tower" here is actually supposed to be humorous. Ex: The man towered over every one else. Ex: The building towers over all others in the area, casting a shadow in the street.
