no it starts with a kickoff.
It comes from rugby, where a player has to literally touch the ball down in the end zone for the score to count. American football -- which evolved from rugby -- originally required players to touch the ball down, too. The rule was eventually eliminated, but the name of the score stuck.
football is the child of rugby. When you score in rugby you would have to touch the ball down to the ground, hence the word touchdown.

A rugby ball
A touch judge runs along the touch[side] line observing play. It is up to him to see when the ball is in touch and where the ball goes into touch for line outs. The touche judge may also see off the ball incidents the main ref does not notice and can help in decision making.
American football is derived from an English game called Rugby Union. In Rugby the equivalent to a touch down is called a try. To score a try you have to "touch the ball down" on the ground.
