Is fluffy an onomatopoeia?

Nope, sorry to burst your bubble, but "fluffy" is not an onomatopoeia. It's just a descriptive word used to convey the soft and airy texture of something. Onomatopoeias are words that imitate the sound they represent, like "meow" or "bang." So, nice try, but no cigar.

Synechdoche: where you use part of something to represent the whole thing. "We could sure use a hand over here." Metonymy: where you use something associated with something else to represent it. "Car number 3 took the checkered flag." Oxymoron: two opposing concepts are jammed together "Two more hours of boring excitement followed." Alliteration: repetition of consonant sounds especially at the start of words. "Bert Brydenhart bulked big in Painted Rock." Zeugma: multiple objects of the same preposition which use the preposition in different senses. "She left in a rage and a taxi." "He hastened to put out the cat, the wine, his cigar and the lamps."
