Yes it was. Around 250 million years ago, the earth only consisted of one large continent called the 'supercontinent' or pangaea.
Pangea was the only, and the first continent that emerged from the ocean that covered the earth for millions of years. Later, this huge piece of land broke into pieces forming the continents today.
A continent is a large, continuous landmass on Earth, such as Africa, Asia, or Europe. Continents are typically defined by their distinct geographical boundaries and are separated by oceans or seas. There are a total of seven continents on Earth.
The northern piece of Pangaea is called Laurasia. It was a supercontinent that existed during the Paleozoic and Mesozoic eras before eventually breaking apart to form the continents we have today.

The largest piece of land on Earth is called a continent. There are seven continents on Earth: Africa, Antarctica, Asia, Europe, North America, Australia, and South America. Each continent is a distinct and massive landmass.

It has always been one piece. If you are refering to the continents being one piece, then yes they were. The super continent was known as Pangaea which was a combination of each continent. Through continental drift, the continents were split into what they are now. In the future, the continents will change once again as continental drift continues as we speak.

It was called Pangaea - from the Greek words pan (entire) and Gaia (Earth)

Because the continents were once one large piece of land. As one large piece of land, there were no continents. Sections broke away over time, likely aided by the fact that the ocean floor is constantly expanding each year. Look up Pangea and see image in Related Links.

One piece of evidence is the fit of the continents' coastlines, particularly between South America and Africa. Another piece of evidence is the distribution of similar fossil species across continents that are now separated by oceans.
The first piece of ice formed somewhere in space billions of years ago, long before earth existed.
