What does it mean to be an ETH token? It has its own value (about $.40 now), so it isn't tied to ETH in its value, right?

ETH tokens are basically tagged bits of ETH that track ownership/participation in a Dapp/contract. I believe that different tokens represent different amounts of ETH, but that they are all quite small. I need to look into that. Their value isn't directly tied to ETH's, no.
