The above statement is True.
We can draw the magnetic field lines using the magnetic compass needle. If we place a compass near the magnet's North pole, the needle keeps turning around the fixed point. The needle settles down tangentially to the field line at the points away from the pole. By plotting these directions using a compass, we can plot the pattern of magnetic field lines.
