No, the word 'retained' is the past participle, past tense of the verb to retain. The past participle of the verb is also an adjective. Examples:

verb: I've retained very little of the algebra that I learned in school.
adjective: The retained water in the blocked gutter will attract mosquitoes.

The noun forms for the verb to retain are retainer, retainment, and the gerund, retaining.

a related noun form is retention.
