Having root-level access to a server means that you can view and update any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You may also set up software which can update specific settings on the server during the process, so that the installation is possible only if you're signed in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, i.e. you will have full control over the machine whenever you want and you'll be able to do anything you want. You may also generate additional users either with identical rights or with fewer rights, depending on what you need them for - daily tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is generally recommended to employ the root account only when you actually need it and not for tasks that you can do using other accounts. You may use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect with the server and to manage it at the root level.
