Answer:

True

Step-by-step explanation:

The North Star is very close to the Celestial North Pole, which is an imaginary point in the sky where the north pole of the Earth's axis points to.

When you stand at the north pole the North Star is appears exactly above your head and all other stars appears to revolve around it due to the rotation of Earth on its axis. All other stars appear to revolve around pole star and hence move parallel to the horizon.
