No. But it can decay to a pointer whenever you need it.

void foo1(char * c) {
}


int main() {
  char Foo[32];
  foo1(Foo); // Foo decays to a pointer
  char * s = Foo; // Foo decays to a pointer which is assigned to s
}

The array name itself without any index is a pointer.

int a[10];
printf("%d\n",*a); // will print first value
printf("%d\n",*(a+1) ); // will print second value
