No, they were the immortal, always young daughters of the gods. Nymphs include the dryads, the nymphs of the woods who lived in trees.

Nymphs were believed to be immortal, unless their life source (frequently a body of fresh water) was cut off. However, they can waste away or be destroyed/killed by a more powerful god or goddess. The story of the nymph Echo is a good example of this.
