Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and modify any kind of file on a particular server, including all system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be required by specific scripts and even offline applications in order to function appropriately. A server is accessed at the root level via a root user, who has full privileges to do all the abovementioned tasks. Your root user can also make other users. For safety reasons, you are advised to have one more account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to do a specific task on the hosting server. The root-level access function provides you with full control over your server from any location, provided that you have the user credentials.
