Need an answer fast please!!

Sam said the square root of a rational number must be a rational number. Jenna disagreed. She said that it is possible that the square root of a rational number can be irrational. Who is correct and why?

-Sam is correct because all square roots of rational numbers are rational. An example is (square root of 121 = 11)
-Jenna is correct because not all square roots are rational. An example is (square root of 2 =1.414213)
-Sam is correct because the properties of square roots state that the square root of a rational number is a rational number.
