Yes, you can put it in this group, but this goes against best practices. You
might want to consider unchecking the "affect the group" paramter for this
resource so a failure of this resource does not kill your cluster group.

If one node fail,can msdtc resource automatically move to another node?

Could you tell me more information about following line?

While SQL Server does not require MS DTC, MS DTC on a cluster is only
supported when clustered and it is recommended to cluster it.

When clustering MS DTC it is preferred to have it in its own group with its
own resources, your second choice should be to put it in the cluster group,
use the quorum disk and create MS DTC its own Network Name and IP Address
resources for your MSDTC resource to use and set that resources properties
not to affect the group.

Here are some KB articles on correctly setting this up:
