Serve the motor and sensory needs of the muscles and skin of the limbs.
Dorsal and ventral roots are a feature of spinal nerves only. Cranial nerves do not have dorsal and ventral roots.
Ventral nerves are nerves that emerge from the spinal cord on the ventral side (front) of the body. They carry motor commands from the brain to muscles and organs, controlling movement and functions such as respiration and digestion.
The ventral ramus is a branch of a spinal nerve that emerges from the spinal cord. It innervates the muscles and skin of the anterior and lateral portions of the trunk and limbs. In contrast to the dorsal ramus, which serves the posterior body, the ventral ramus plays a crucial role in motor and sensory functions in the body's front and sides. These rami can also form plexuses, such as the brachial and lumbosacral plexuses, which facilitate complex nerve interactions.
spinal nerves
The reason why a peripheral nerve such as the sciatic nerve can contain nerve fiber from several spinal nerves is owing to nerve plexuses. These are networks of nerves all tangled together and found mostly in the limbs.
plexuses
The spinal nerves that originate from the thoracic portion of the spinal cord don't form plexuses. The word thoracic pertains to the thorax.

It is where the nerves go and spinal fluid is and protects spinal cord
Except for T2-T12, all ventral rami branch and join one another lateral to the vertebral column, forming complicated interlacing nerve networks called nerve plexuses. Nerve plexuses occur in the cervical, brachial, lumbar, and sacral regions and primarily serve the limbs (MarieB, 2010 8th ed. pp. 502)

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.

The thoracic spinal nerves (T1-T12) do not form plexuses like the cervical, brachial, lumbar, and sacral nerves. Instead, each thoracic spinal nerve tends to go directly to the tissues it supplies without forming complex networks.
