No. You play it in a similar way to a modern piano. The hammers (which strike the strings just like in a modern piano) are covered in either leather or felt. Fortepianos usually have a wooden frame rather than the massive iron one of modern grands. The sound they create "decays" more rapidly than that of a modern instrument, which can't "speak" fast enough to play the rapid passages in the music of composers like Mozart and Clementi without blurring the sound.

Do you pluck or hit a piano to make sound?
When you press down on a piano's keys, this triggers a series of levers and bars. At the end of one of these bars is a felt tip which strikes the strings. So, it does not pluck, it hits the strings. A harpsichord works the same way as a piano, except instead of striking the strings, it has a little hook that plucks the strings.
