Yes. The definition of a surd is "an irrational number"
No because surds are irrational numbers
It is impossible to have a surd that is not irrational. Surds are defined to be an irrational number (square root of a number).
A surd is a number expressed as a square root (or some other root). Such roots are usually irrational; but irrational numbers also include other numbers, which CAN'T be expressed as the root of a rational number. For example, pi and e.

Irrational rootsRoots that are irrational are called surds. Irrational numbers are decimals that neither repeat nor terminate. But not all roots are surds. Sqrt(4) is not a surd, because sqrt(4) is + or - 2, which is rational. On the other hand, sqrt(2) is a surd, and that's because the square root of two is irrational.A surd is a number that cannot be changed into a fraction. They go on infinitely without any pattern.
Oh, dude, you're hitting me with some math lingo! So, like, 27 in surd form is √27. It's basically just the square root of 27, which simplifies to 3√3. But, like, who really needs all that fancy math talk, am I right?

Normally they are.
The term surd traces back to al-Khwārizmī, who referred to rational and irrational numbers as audible and inaudible, respectively. This later led to the Arabic word "أصم‎" (asamm, meaning "deaf" or "dumb") for irrational number being translated into Latin as "surdus" (meaning "deaf" or "mute").

surd
A surd is the square root of an integer (whole number), e.g. square root of 2 is a surd. Pi is not the square root of an integer so not a surd, just an irrational number
A surd is an irrational number that can't be expressed as a fraction as for example the square root of 2
