No. Cumin (the spice) is the dried seeds of the plant Cuminum cymenum.

Cilantro refers to the leaves of the plant Coriandrum sativum. The spice coriander is the dried fruits ("seeds") of the same plant, and tastes different (among other things, it doesn't have the "dish soap" taste that some people perceive in the leaves; the ability to detect this appears to be genetic).

The two plants are in the same "family", but that's not saying much ... so are dill, anise, and carrots.

Is coriander similar to cardnamom?

Coriander and cardamom are both aromatic spices used in cooking, but they are not similar in flavor or botanical classification. Coriander comes from the seeds of the cilantro plant and has a citrusy, slightly sweet flavor, while cardamom is derived from the pods of plants in the ginger family and has a warm, spicy, and slightly floral taste. They may be used in some similar cuisines, but their distinct flavors serve different culinary purposes.
