There is no real number [square] root of a negative number. There is a real cube root and a real fiftth root etc, but root, by itself, implies square root.
The square root of 8 over 25 is irrational, and real.
The square root of -25 is not a real number, as it involves taking the square root of a negative number which results in an imaginary number. In this case, the square root of -25 is 5i, where i represents the imaginary unit. Since rational numbers are a subset of real numbers, the square root of -25, being an imaginary number, is not a rational number.
Because the square root of -25 would be that number that, squared, would equal -25. No number, positive or negative, can result in a negative square. Since -25 is a negative number, no number, positive or negative, can be squared to equal -25.
The principal root of a number is the positive real square root of the number - if it exists. Since -25 is negative, it does not have a real square root. Its square roots are the imaginary numbers +/-5i where i is the [imaginary] square root of -1. i is neither positive nor negative and so neither +5i nor -5i is a principal root.
the square root of 25 is 5
Yes. The square root of 25 is 5, which is a real number.

You can't take the square root of a negative number. The square root of -25 is 5i. It's an imaginary number.
If by "radical" you mean "square root of", then yes. Both square roots of 25 are real numbers.
Because the square root of -25 would be that number that, squared, would equal -25. No number, positive or negative, can result in a negative square. Since -25 is a negative number, no number, positive or negative, can be squared to equal -25.

Its square roots are the imaginary numbers +/-5i where i is the [imaginary] square root of -1. i is neither positive nor negative and so neither +5i nor -5i is a principal root.
The square root of a positive number results in a positive number. For example, the square root of 25 is 5. * * * * * Not true! There are two real square roots for every positive number: one positive and one negative. -5 is as much a square root of 25 as +5 is. However, the positive root is the principal root and so is often presented as the only root.
You cannot in real numbers because the square of any number, negative or positive, is positive. However, -25 does have a square root in complex numbers: it is + or - 5i where i is the imaginary square root of -1.
The square root of 25 is 5, which is a rational number.
The square root of 25 has two solutions: SQRT(25) = + 5 and -5The square root of a number, by definition, should be positive. Hence, the square root of 25 is 5. The other square root is -5. However, strictly speaking, -5 is not the square root of 25, since it is not a positive number.* * * * *The exclusion of the negative square root is plain nonsense.
