Radicals serve as headers in dictionaries, organizing characters or words. The 214 Kangxi radicals specifically categorize entries in the Kangxi dictionary; they are not universally employed in other dictionaries, unless another dictionary deliberately adopts the same radical set. Consequently, if a smaller dictionary opts not to include some obscure characters found in larger or more comprehensive dictionaries, it may lack the complete set of Kangxi radicals.
The Kangxi dictionary, being Traditional Chinese, uses its distinct set of radicals, which differs from those used in Simplified Chinese dictionaries. However, entries in Simplified Chinese dictionaries may still be rooted in the Kangxi dictionary.
Radicals, whether Kangxi or otherwise, are essentially arbitrary. They often bear little relation to a character's meaning or pronunciation. Therefore, it's entirely acceptable for a new dictionary publisher to devise their own radical system for character grouping.
