False. Flaccid is the opposite of rigid. For example, in the medical field, there's flaccid paralysis and rigid paralysis. Flaccid paralysis is when a body part is unable to be moved, but there is no muscle tone. The body part is "floppy." Rigid paralysis is when the body part is unable to be moved, but there is a lot of muscle tone. The body part is "stiff."
