Detailed Solution

The above statement is True.
A shadow is formed as light travels in a straight line and cannot bend around the corners of obstacles. Diffraction in light is the least due to which deviation from the path is not possible in the case of light rays, and light appears to travel in a straight line. Light can change its path when the incident with specific obstacles, but light travels in a straight line due to its wave nature. Shadows suits best in that light travels in a straight line.
Therefore, the shape of the shadow is also the same and in a straight line as the object and the source.
