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.
Dorsal and ventral roots are a feature of spinal nerves only. Cranial nerves do not have dorsal and ventral roots.

Most of the nerves on the ventral side of a worm are concentrated there to facilitate movement and coordination. The ventral nerve cord runs along the belly, allowing for efficient control of muscles and rapid responses to environmental stimuli. This arrangement supports the worm's locomotion and helps it navigate through soil and other substrates. Additionally, having the nerve structures on the ventral side helps protect them from potential damage as the worm burrows.
The lumbar plexus originates from ventral rami L1-L4. It supplies nerves to the lower abdominal wall, pelvic region, and parts of the lower limb. Key nerves arising from this plexus include the femoral nerve and the obturator nerve.
The brachial plexus supplies motor and sensory innervation to the upper limb. It is formed by the ventral rami of the spinal nerves C5-T1, and its branches include the musculocutaneous, median, ulnar, radial, and axillary nerves. These nerves control the muscles and provide sensation to the shoulder, arm, forearm, and hand.
Dorsal and ventral roots are a feature of spinal nerves only. Cranial nerves do not have dorsal and ventral roots.
The ventral rami serves as a form of intercostal nerves, which supply the muscles between the ribs and the skin and muscles of the anterior and lateral trunk.

The ventral roots contains motor fibers, responsible for motion, whereas the dorsal sensory fibers, responsible for touch and feeling.

31 pairs. And they arise from the combination of the ventral and dorsal roots.

The vagus nerves supply many organs in the ventral body cavity. They have a very significant role in the function of the body.
The spinal nerves that originate from the thoracic portion of the spinal cord don't form plexuses. The word thoracic pertains to the thorax.
