Having root-level access to your server signifies that you will be able to view and change any file on it, including important system files. You can also install software that can change specific settings on the server during the process, so the installation is possible only if you're logged in as the root user. The latter has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over your machine whenever you want and you can do anything you want. You can also create additional users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - day-to-day 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 you can do through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.
