Yes, if the number whose square root we are taking is greater than 0. Only if you try to take the square root of a negative number will you get back an imaginary number.
Square roots are often irrational, but that's different from real versus imaginary.

Negative numbers do not have "real number" square roots.However, they will have two roots (when using imaginary numbers) as do other numbers, where a root including i(square root of -1) is positive or negative.
( +0.063246 ) and ( -0.063246 ).These numbers are rounded.These are the only square roots of 0.004. There are no more real ones,and no imaginary or complex ones.
It belongs to many many subsets including: {sqrt(13)}, The set of square roots of integers The set of square roots of primes The set of square roots of numbers between 12 and 27 {3, -9, sqrt(13)} The set of irrational numbers The set of real numbers
All positive numbers have two. 0 has only one. Negative numbers have two imaginary roots but no real ones.
The subsets of all the square roots of 144 are {+12} and {-12}. The single set that includes all the square roots of 144 is {+12, -12}. That's all there are. There are no more.
