I think not exactly? But I'm not sure. This website explains it pretty well imo: https://www.paddleasia.com/karst-topography.htm

I'm not a geologist or anything but summarizing some of the info, Coral Polyps deposited the lime that turned into limestone ~100 million years ago. Halfway down that page is a photo of how the bottoms are more narrow than the tops on some formations as the sea levels went down and carved them out

I was looking up how these rock formations were formed and found:
