Something about Rhumb Line

Hi all,

I'm a student pilot, so please forgive me asking such dumb question

Here comes:

When the plane is using Rhumb line tracking, whether it is tracking to the magnetic or true heading?
It said to the magnetic heading on google, is it true? And if its ture, why? doesnt the rhumb line made constant angle with meridians (true headings)?

Please advice

Happy flying
