no because the square root of 0 is 0

Not always.
The square root of 1/9 is 1/3 which is greater than 1/9.

No.
The square root is equal or more than the number itself when the number is equal to or between 0 and 1.
Assume the number is “x”.
x^(1/2) >= x when 0 <= x <= 1
You can prove it mathematically. If you need the prove, just contact me. :)

no
if you make X larger than 1, it is true.
however, the square root of 1/4th is larger than it is, since
1/2 x 1/2 = 1/4
oh

Yes, unless it's like one or something.
