Having full root-level access signifies that you'll be able to access and customize any kind of file on a specific server, which includes all system files, and to change system settings or install server-side software that may be needed by certain scripts and even offline apps in order to work effectively. A server is accessed at the root level with a root user, which has full privileges to perform all the aforementioned tasks. The root user can also create various other users. For safety reasons, you're advised to have a separate account for routine tasks and to use the root account only if you actually need to perform a task on your hosting server. The root-level access function provides you with full control of your server from almost any location, given that you have the user credentials.
