Yes, a passphrase in Bitcoin is an additional layer of security that is used in addition to the seed phrase (which is typically composed of 12 random words). The passphrase adds an extra layer of protection to the seed phrase, as anyone seeking to access the funds stored with it would also need to know the passphrase. Passphrases need to be fairly long and complex, ideally 10-30 characters, to ensure that they remain secure and make it difficult for anyone to guess.
