The above statement is True.
A freely suspended magnet points north-south because the earth behaves like a magnet, with the south pole of the earth’s magnet in the geographical north and the north pole in the geographical south. This is due to the magnetic effect of the earth's magnetic field, which aids in the magnet's orientation.
