Yes, a cumulonimbus cloud can produce thunderstorms. These towering clouds are associated with severe weather phenomena, including intense rainfall, lightning, and thunder. The strong updrafts within the cloud lead to the development of the electrical charges necessary for thunder and lightning. When the conditions are right, cumulonimbus clouds can also spawn severe thunderstorms, including hail and tornadoes.
Cumulonimbus incus, which has an obvious anvil top. Only very strong ones, called supercells, spawn tornadoes.Cumulonimbus icnus is the most likely type of storm cloud to produce a tornado. These cumulonimbus clouds are often supercells.Tornadoes can form from any cumulonimbus cloud, but they usually form from Cumulonimbus incus (heaped rain cloud with anvil) with a rotating updraft called a mesocyclone. The type of storm this rotating cumulonimbus cloud brings is a strong thunderstorm called a supercell, the thunderstorm most likely to form a tornadocumulonimbus clouds
Cumulonimbus
Tornadoes develop during thunderstorms, which are associated with cumulonimbus clouds. Many will descned from a wall cloud at the base of a thunderstorm. The tornado itself may be visible as a funnel cloud.
A rain cloud is usually a "nimbus" cloud such as the nimbostratus and cumulonimbus (thunderstorm) clouds.
Cumulonimbus clouds are also called thunderheads.
The entire thunderstorm is a cumulonimbus cloud.

It is a thunderstorm.
The cumulonimbus cloud.
The type of cloud in a thunderstorm is called a cumulonimbus cloud. These clouds are dense and vertically developed, extending high into the atmosphere where they can produce intense thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, lightning, and sometimes even tornadoes.
A cumulonimbus (Cumulus) has thunderstorms and also thunder and lighting
It is often dark during a tornado not because of the tornado itself, but becasue of the parent thunderstorm. The thunderstorm consists of a very tall cumulonimbus cloud, which blocks out most sunlight.
Lightning is created by a thunderstorm, not the other way around. Not all "thunderstorms" (cumulonimbus cloud formations) have lightning, but that is how they were named.
