No they are not. They can have imitation in them but polyphonic means more than one independent voices. Madrigals were one of the first styles where the melody was concentrated in the top voice and the other parts provided harmony.
madrigals, specially those composed in late '500 can be also played with lute or viola. This is a documentated practice, for example in "Il Cortegiano" by Baldassarre Castiglione
