Hi Anjali,
No. Every object has a standard field called id. There is no need to define an explicit primary key in custom objects. The standard id field can be used as primary key.
Thanks.

Hi Anjali,
Salesforce provide a standard field id as a unique identifier for a record weather the record is a standard object record or a custom object record.
Thanks.
