False
The statement is false since as per the rule, a negative number cannot be expressed as square roots.
E.g., √9 =3 is a natural number.
But √2 = 1.414 is not a natural number.
Similarly, we know that there are negative numbers on the number line but when we take the root of a negative number it becomes a complex number and not a natural number.
E.g., √-7 = 7i, where i = √-1
The statement that every point on the number line is of the form √m, where m is a natural number is false.
