Having root-level access to your server signifies that you can view and modify any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You may also install software which can change particular settings on your server during the process, so the installation can be done only if you are signed in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over your machine at any time and you will be able to do anything you'd like. You may also make various other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, according to what you require them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etc. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks which can be done via other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.
