No. Velcro is man made
velcro
The word velcro is a portmanteau of the words "velours" and "crochet".
The loop side of Velcro is smooth and soft. The hook side of Velcro is rough and scratchy. The hooks catch on the loops to stick them together.
Velcro is the Velcro Industries product name for hook and loop fastener, typically manufactured as tape, either adhesive backed or non-adhesive backed.
