No, it is dynamic network of protein filaments that support, organize, and move eukaryotic cells and their internal structures. The cytoskeleton interacts with accessory proteins, such as motor proteins.

No. It is attached to the plasma membrane though, which is important. The cytoskeleton gives cells shape and rigidity etc and so it is important for it to be attached to the plasma membrane. The cytoskeleton is composed of molecules that are located in the cytoplasm but that are attached to the plasma membrane via specific proteins. Hope that helps!
