mixed nerves
Yes, the ventral root of a spinal nerve is the efferent motor root, consists of axons of motor neurons. It joins the dorsal root to form a mixed spinal nerve, which consists of afferent sensory neurons (from the dorsal root) and efferent motor neurons (from the ventral root). Therefore severing the ventral root will result in a loss of motor function for the myotome supplied by that spinal nerve.
Spinal nerves (aka mixed spinal nerves) are formed from the dorsal and ventral roots coming out of the spinal cord.A spinal nerve is made of mixed nerves. They have both sensory and a motor aspect. The roots of sensory fibers are on the dorsal side of the spinal cord.

a mixed nerve carry both motor and sensory nerves
Spinal nerves are said to be mixes because their posterior roots contain sensory axons and their anterior roots contain motor axons.
Spinal nerves are called mixed nerves because they all carry motor, sensory, and autonomic signals between the spinal cord and the body.
