Not necessarily. It may be one that the experimenter has no control over.
There is no answer to a manipulated variable because "a manipulated variable" is not a question!
operational definition of a manipulated variable
A manipulative variable is the variable you can alter, while the responding variable is the variable you have no control over. A manipulated variable is what is changed purposely throughout the experiment. The responding variable is which you have to measure to get your results I think. But the responding variable depends on the dependent variable. I believe I'm right!
A manipulated variable is not changed on purpose.

The manipulated variable is the independent variable, which is m in this case. This variable is deliberately changed by the experimenter to observe its effect on the dependent variable, n.

The manipulated variable in making a lava lamp is the temperature of the lamp, which can be adjusted to control the movement of the colored blobs in the lamp.
The control variable is not manipulated but kept constant to serve as a baseline for comparison. The response variable is the one that is measured and represents the data being recorded to observe any changes or effects caused by manipulating the control variable.

Manipulated variable is also known as Independent variable and is the factor that you change in an experiment. For example if you were measuring the effects of alcohol on driving ability the manipulated variable would be alcohol, either with or without alcohol.
It means the factor that changes as a result of changes to the manipulated, or independent, variable in an experiment; also called dependent variable.
