the ventral root carries motor response
ventral root
ventral root from the ventral horn of the spinal cord is motor. If ventral root is cut it will lead to to a kind of paralysis called flaccid paralysis. This is because ventral horn contains lower motor neurons. As such the skeletal muscle innervated by the root is paralysed
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.

motor
The ventral roots contains motor fibers, responsible for motion, whereas the dorsal sensory fibers, responsible for touch and feeling.
Efferent or Motor
The ventral root of a spinal nerve contains efferent motor neurons that carry signals away from the spinal cord to muscles and glands in the body. These motor neurons control voluntary movements and autonomic functions.
The ventral root contains motor neurons, which are responsible for sending signals from the central nervous system to muscles, glands, and other effector organs. These neurons initiate and control muscle contraction and other involuntary movements.
