True? A one dimenional harmonic osscilator is considered to have one degree of freedom?

A two dimensional arrow in phase space can represent the "state" of that 1D H.O.?

For some system with N degrees of freedom we can have, N, two dimensional arrows to represent the state of that system?

Thank you with your help!
