No, the word 'ticked' is the past participle, past tense of the verb to tick. The past participle of the verb also functions as an adjective.

Examples:

I sat and waited as the minutes ticked by. (verb)

The ticked names are the members who have paid. (adjective)

The word 'tick' is both a verb and a noun.

The noun 'tick' is a word for a type of insect; a type of fabric used to make mattresses and pillows; a small sound as that of a clock; a small mark used to check off something on a list.

A pronoun is a word that takes the place of a noun in a sentence.

Example: You will notice a tick next to some steps in the process. It indicates that the step is completed. (the pronoun 'it' takes the place of the noun 'tick' in the second sentence)
