Having root-level access to your server signifies that you will be able to view and modify any file on it, including crucial system files. You may also install software that can change certain settings on your server during the process, so the installation is possible only if you're signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you'll have full control over the machine at any time and you can perform anything you want. You can also create additional users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, according to what you want them for - everyday tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it's usually recommended to employ the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks which can be done through other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.
