No. Lipids is a general term for various types of fatty acids.
If a lipid is saturated, then it is a saturated fat and is solid at room temperature (saturated means it has the maximum number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon atoms in the atomic structure).
If the lipid is unsaturated, then it is an oil that is a liquid at room temperature.
Remember: lipids are a broad term covering any fat soluble substances such as fats, oils, fat soluble vitamins, waxes, etc.
No! Lipids are a big - and kinda vague - group. Between them, they vary greatly in their physical properties.
Oleic acid, a very common lipid, is liquid at room temperature.
I'm sure there are many, many more that are the same way.

Is body fat solid or liquid?
A fat can be a solid or a liquid. Normally we refer to a liquid fat as an 'oil', but this is for a fatty compound that is liquid at room temperature. All fats can be liquified or solidified, and will still be called 'fats' no matter what.
