Is ventral root a loss of motor function?

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.
