This depends on the chemical composition of the oil.
The difference in the physical states of butter and mustard oil at room temperature is due to their different compositions of fats and oils. Butter contains a higher proportion of saturated fats which are solid at room temperature, while mustard oil is mainly composed of unsaturated fats which are liquid at room temperature. The structure and arrangement of the fat molecules in each substance determine their physical state.

If it is "oil" then it is a liquid. Some salad dressings, however, are composed of both solid and liquid components.

A fat can be a solid or a liquid. Normally we refer to a liquid fat as an 'oil', but this is for a fatty compound that is liquid at room temperature. All fats can be liquified or solidified, and will still be called 'fats' no matter what.

Clearly, this depends on the temperature of the room. In most countries, cooking oil will be liquid at room temperature. However in very cold countries, cooking oil will be solid at room temperature.
Alcohol, water, oil, and mercury come to mind.
liquid
It is in a liquid form at room temperature.

Monounstatured and polyunsaturated fats are produced by plants and are liquids at room temperature.

No, you have misunderstoof the definitions. An oil is a lipid that is liquid at room temperature and a fat is a lipid that is solid at room temperature, therefore by definition a fat cannot be an oil at room temperature.
Any sort of vegetable oil is usually liquid at room temperature.
