Because it's pushing air over the wings. Albeit, very little...*probably* not enough to give it lift...but if the prop were large enough, it might.
In a single engine prop plane, the prop wash to which you are referring, is confined to the area where the wings are joined to the fuselage and would not produce enough lift by itself to lift the aircraft.
