Having full root-level access signifies that you will be able to access and modify any file on a specific server, in addition to all of the system files, and to change system settings or set up server-side software which may be necessary for certain scripts and even offline apps in order to work appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, which has full privileges to perform all of the abovementioned things. The root user may also generate various other users. For security reasons, you are advised to have a separate account for everyday tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do some task on the website hosting server. The root-level access function provides you with full control of your server from any location, provided that you know the user credentials.
