The correct response is:
Yes, because it fails to cite the source.
The student text paraphrases the idea from the source without providing proper citation, which constitutes a form of plagiarism even if quotation marks are not used.
Compare the student text with the source.
Source: Christopher Sloan, Mummies, page 9. Published by National Geographic Society, 2010:
Whether mummies were kings and queens entombed with exotic riches, or just regular people, each body has a story to tell. By listening to these stories, told through the work of scientists, we can get close to people who lived before us.
Student text: All mummies reveal a story, whether they were wealthy or poor in life.
