Having root-level access to a server means that you will be able to view and modify any file on it, which includes important system files. You may also install software which can modify particular settings on the server throughout the, so that the installation can be done only if you're signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over your machine whenever you want and you can perform anything you want. You can also create other users either with the same rights or with fewer rights, according to what you want them for - everyday tasks, other server administrators, etc. To be on the safe side, it's generally recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks you can do using other accounts. You may 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.
