If the range is the real numbers, it has a lower bound (zero) but no upper bound.
The opposite (or inverse function) of the square root would be the square.
This is because the square root function, with the range defined as the non-negative real numbers, is monotonic increasing throughout.
"Domain" means for what numbers the function is defined (the "input" to the function). For example, "x + 3" is defined for any value of "x", whereas "square root of x" is defined for non-negative "x". "Range" refers to the corresponding values calculated by the function - the "output" of the function. If you write a function as y = (some function of x), for example y = square root of x, then the domain is all possible values that "x" can have, whereas the range is all the possible values that "y" can have.

The square root operation is not a function because for each value of y there can be 2 values of x - the principal square root and its negative. This can only be rectified by limiting the range of the opearation to the principal or positive square root. Furthermore, it also depends on the domain of the function. If y<4 then the square root is not defined within Real numbers. So, for y ≥ 4, x = +sqrt(y-4) is a function.

It is the "square root." This is the opposite function (n1/2) of the square (n2).

yes
Every positive real number has two square roots: one negative and one positive. As a result, the square root mapping is one-to-many and so is not a mathematical function. One way to make it a function is to restrict the range to non-negative real numbers. These are the non-negative square roots.
x
Yes, if your equation is f(x) = sqrt5(x). The square root is also a function itself, if that's what you mean.
Let's illustrate with an example. The square function takes a number as its input, and returns the square of a number. The opposite (inverse) function is the square root (input: any non-negative number; output: the square root). For example, the square of 3 is 9; the square root of 9 is 3. The idea, then, is that if you apply first a function, then its inverse, you get the original number back.
