Lumbermen use the term softwood to refer to conifers. Since birch is not a conifer, it is not softwood. Birches at the northern limit of their range are hard and quite useful for making violins and piano soundboards. At the south end of their range, Robert Frost liked to climb them until they would bend over and take him down to the ground so they probably were soft!
It is certainly not manmade. By virtue of being a deciduous tree birch is classed as a hardwood.
Since birch is a hardwood I imagine that silver birch is in that family too.
