No, a cork is not made up of rubber. Cork is a natural material derived from the bark of the cork oak tree (Quercus suber). It is composed primarily of a substance called suberin, which gives it its unique properties, such as being lightweight, buoyant, and resistant to moisture. Rubber, on the other hand, is typically derived from the sap of rubber trees (Hevea brasiliensis) and has different chemical properties.
