False. The principle of uniformitarianism, formulated by James Hutton, suggests that the geological processes occurring today (such as erosion, sedimentation, and volcanic activity) have been occurring in a similar manner throughout Earth's history. While it is true that sedimentary rocks are typically deposited in horizontal layers, this characteristic itself is not the definition of uniformitarianism.
The principle of uniformitarianism states that sedimentary rocks are deposited in horizontal layers.
