Having root-level access to your server signifies that you will be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes important system files. You can also install software that can change specific settings on the server during the process, so the installation can be performed only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over your machine whenever you want and you can do anything you'd like. You can also create other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, based on what you need them for - everyday tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to use the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that you can do through other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect to the server and to control it at the root level.
