No. Uluru is not classified as a mesa. The correct term for this feature is "inselberg". It is a formation that rises above the surrounding plains, and it completely composed of sandstone. The visible part is the exposed upper portion of a rock which extends underground and reappears as the landform known as Kata Tjuta.
