can √25 be classified as a whole number...?

so can the square root of 25 be solved/simplified so it can be classified as a whole number, natural?

Update:

Am I able to solve it when I'm classifying or do you have to keep it the way it is?

    √25 = 5

    If 5 is a whole number then √25 is also a whole number.

    Remember the axiom that two things equal to the same thing are equal to each other.

    If 5 equal a whole number and 5 equal square root of 25, then both "whole number" and "square root of 25" are equal to 5. Two things equal to the same thing are equal to each other. Therefore, yes, "square root of 25" is a "whole number".

    well if you solve it it would be 5 which is a whole number

    if you leave it as radical 25, then it would not
