Having root-level access to your server means that you will be able to view and update any file on it, including essential system files. You can also set up software that can modify particular settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation is possible only if you're logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you'll have full control over the machine at any time and you'll be able to do anything you would like. You may also generate other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you want them for - daily tasks, other server administrators, etcetera. 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 using other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console to be able to connect with the server and to control it at the root level.
