No, it's assigned by your ISP and can change at their whim, though it should stay the same for days/weeks at a time.

You need to run a ddns client that updates it automatically for you.

I'm not sure which of these support ipv6.

Dynamic DNS and Duck DNS don’t update your IP address, rather they give you a stable DNS name that’s updated automatically when the IP address changes.

Some ISPs do issue static IPs. Some always do, so might if you ask or pay or fee. If you don’t know otherwise, assume your home IP will change
