Answer:

Irrational

Explanation:

root of 5 = 2.23606797749978969640917366873127623544061835961152572427089…

This number never ends. Another term for it would be a recurring decimal, but it is not exact. Anyway, the square root of 5 is irrational since it is not defined to stop. Even if it was rounded, it would not be exact.

Hope this Helps.
