The imaginary number (i) is defined as the square root of -1.
If you multiply i by i you get -1

Yes, imaginary numbers are a subset of complex numbers.
No, it is imaginary. Irrational numbers are a subset of real numbers Real numbers and imaginary numbers are sets without any overlap.
They aren't imaginary.
It helps to visualize the numbers on a plane. The complex numbers occupy the entire plane. The real numbers are all the numbers on the horizontal axis, the imaginary numbers are all the numbers on the vertical axis. A complex number thus has a real and an imaginary part, a + bi, where a and be are real numbers (for example, 3 - 2i).
2 does belong to the set of imaginary numbers. Any real number is also imaginary. Imaginary numbers are the set of all numbers that can be expressed as a +b*i where "i" is the square root of negative one and "a" and "b" are both real numbers.
