Yes, of some; the square root of any perfect square is rational - for example, the square root of 4, of 9, of 16, etc.On the other hand, if your "composite number" is not a perfect square, then its square root is irrational.

Yes. Any perfect square which is greater than 1 is a composite number and its square root, by definition, is an integer and therefore rational.

Does there exist an irrational number such that its square root is rational?

No, and I can prove it: -- The product of two rational numbers is always a rational number. -- If the two numbers happen to be the same number, then it's the square root of their product. -- Remember ... the product of two rational numbers is always a rational number. -- So the square of a rational number is always a rational number. -- So the square root of an irrational number can't be a rational number (because its square would be rational etc.).
