[R] Statistically significant in linear and non-linear model

Hi, I have a question to ask. if in a linear regression model, the independent variables are not statistically significant, is it necessary to test these variables in a non-linear model? Since most of non-linear form of a variable can be represented to a linear combination using Taylor's theore
