query is used to query routes from neighbors (multicast; unicast attempted up to16 times if multicast gets no response)

When a router is performing route computation and does not have a feasible successor, it sends a query packet to its neighbors, asking if they have a successor to the destination. Queries are normally multicast but an be retransmitted as unicast packets in certain cases; they are sent reliably.
