Not strictly, but properties are inherited:

Doing (org-entry-get (point) "CATEGORY" t) on a headline will fetch the
category of the parent if this category is not defined for the headline.

,----[ org-entry-get ]
| Get value of property for entry at point-or-marker pom.
| If inherit is non-nil and the entry does not have the property,
| then also check higher levels of the hierarchy.
| If the property is present but empty, the return value is the empty string.
| If the property is not present at all, nil is returned.
