Hello,

from ?array

      An array in R can have one, two or more dimensions.  It is simply
      a vector which is stored with additional attributes giving the
      dimensions (attribute ‘"dim"’) and optionally names for those
      dimensions (attribute ‘"dimnames"’).

      A two-dimensional array is the same thing as a ‘matrix’.


So, to answer your question, "yes".
