will mac os update if lid is just closed and it's plugged in, automatically?

Pretty much the question.
Will it update the OS when it's closed and power plug is in?
I noticed when it's closed it's still connected to router and wifi, wonder will it do it's business automatically?

I can't answer your question, but a bit of advice:
It's probably not the best idea to have "automatic updates" turned on.
YOU should be the one who controls what gets updated on your Mac.

I'd TURN OFF auto updating.
Then -- when you're advised that updates are available -- choose to install them when you want to.

It can download updates, that's for sure. It will install updates, that do not require a restart, if automatic installation of those is set up. It will not install updates that require a restart.
