Wikipedia has an whole article on the topic thermoplastic extrusion. Thermoplastic extrusion is a high volume manufacturing process in which raw plastic material is melted and formed into a continuous profile.

Thermoplastics can be shaped using various methods such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, and thermoforming. These processes involve heating the thermoplastic material to a molten state, shaping it into the desired form, and then allowing it to cool and solidify. Thermoplastics can also be reshaped multiple times as they soften when heated and harden when cooled.
It is a thermoplastic! :)

Teflon is a thermoplastic.
Acrylic is a thermoplastic
No. Wool is not a thermoplastic fiber because when exposed to heat, it does not melt and change.

I am learning about this in my Science class, and when a geologist looks at an extrusion, they know it's an extrusion because it is Igneous rock, and an extrusion helps tell the reletive ages of the layers around it.
