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 may also install software that can modify certain settings on your server during the process, so that the installation is possible only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over the machine whenever you want and you can perform anything you'd like. You may also create various other users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you require them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that can be done through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.
