Which thumb? If you don't play with a pick (finger picking or classical guitar, for instance), then you very much use your right thumb to pluck notes (generally bass notes) or strum chords (generally upstrokes; you'd use your middle finger for the downstrokes).

I once jammed with a guitarist who could thumb wrap-around the bottom *two* strings, but my hand is definitely not big enough for that.
