As of right now (3.5.11 has just been released), the minimum PHP version is 5.6.
WordPress 6.3 is about to be released with a minimum PHP version of 7.0.
In a few months, PHP 8.3 will be available.

When 4.0 of CAP is being prepared, then the minimum PHP version can be increased - this helps to reduce bugs (from cross-version differences), reduce testing requirements (not so many combinations to support in CI testing), and can reduce the amount of code to maintain (through more modern syntax).
