Detailed Solution

The above statement is true.
The pressure exerted by any liquid will be the same in all directions at any point. For example, in a beaker, water rushes out when holes are placed in different directions, indicating that pressure acts in all possible directions. According to Pascal's law, the "external static pressure applied to a confined liquid is evenly distributed or transferred throughout the liquid in all directions."
And at any given point, the pressure (P) value is provided by
       P=ρgh 
Where 'ρ' is the density of fluid and  'g' is the acceleration due to gravity, 'h' is the depth.
With this equation, we can say pressure is directly proportional to the depth.
