No, ICMP is not a routing protocol. ICMP (internet Control Message Protocol) is used by the Internet Protocol suite (IP) to send error and status messages. It is mainly used for diagnostics. Ping and traceroute are two tools that use ICMP. ICPM is used by routing protocols, for routing advertisements and router discovery.

What transport layer protocol does ping use?
Assuming IPv4 ICMP. Ping uses IP for transport. Ping in itself is an "Echo Request", which is a function of the ICMP protocol. The IP Packet will carry the ICMP protocol from end-to-end. ICMP has a protocol number of 1, so the "Protocol" field in the IPv4 header will contain "1" as a reference to the ICMP payload. For IPv6, ICMPv6 is used, and the transport will be IPv6.
