Stocks and Capital Gains Tax


I’m new to investing and I recently learned about capital gains and had a quick question.

Let’s say I invest 10k into a stock and hold it for a year. Miraculously my original investment jumps to 20k market value.

Can I withdraw 10k and not have to pay any income taxes since technically that is the amount of my original investment?
