Is it true that fermentation is used to make bread rise?
Yes. A reference article on fermentation states directly that fermentation is used to make bread dough rise, with carbon dioxide forming bubbles that expand the dough. Other sources confirm yeast fermentation is used in bread-making but do not spell out the rising mechanism.
