False.

Abscisic acid (ABA) is a plant hormone with its own signaling roles—promoting seed dormancy, inhibiting seed germination, inducing stomatal closure during drought, and mediating stress responses. While it often acts antagonistically to growth-promoting hormones (e.g., gibberellins), it is not merely an inhibitor of other hormones but a distinct regulator with specific physiological functions.
