Yes, but it's inadvisable. A properly configured root server just
serves the root zone, nothing else. Read RFC2870: "Root Name Server
Operational Requirements".

It means just what it says. Don't use stub zones on BIND9 unless you
have compelling historical reasons for doing that.

The documentation clearly says don't use them.
