In a way, yes. The material that makes up the "disk" in a floppy is Mylar, a magnetic substance. Data is stored on the Mylar disk in the form of magnetic charges.
A "diskette" or "floppy disk" is neither as they are removable magnetic storage media. However, if you refer to the drives that read from them or write to them, then those drives are considered hardware.

Magnetic storage media are items like floppy and hard disk drives. They are based on magnetic transfer of data between the heads and the computer.
No. Floppy disks are magnetic media that rely on magnetic polarization to write data to the disk much like a hard drive. Unlike CD media they can be erased by a strong magnet field that effectively scrambles the data tracks.

Floppy itself..
Floppy disks use magnetic disk to store the data.
Placing a magnet near a floppy disk is a bad idea because floppy disks store data on magnetic media. The magnetic field from the magnet can interfere with or completely erase the data on the disk, leading to data loss. Since floppy disks rely on precise magnetic patterns to represent information, exposure to a strong magnet can corrupt these patterns, rendering the stored data inaccessible.
