No, "cuboidal" refers to the shape of cells that are roughly cube-like or box-shaped, typically found in a single layer, such as in cuboidal epithelium. The term does not imply multiple layers; instead, it specifically describes the geometry of the cells. If many layers were present, the tissue would be described as stratified, such as in stratified cuboidal epithelium.
