Having root-level access to a server signifies that you can view and update any file on it, which includes crucial system files. You can also install software that can change specific settings on the server during the process, so that the installation can be done only if you are logged in as the root user. The aforementioned has full privileges, which means that you will have full control over the machine at any time and you can perform anything you need. You may also generate additional users either with similar rights or with fewer rights, according to what you want them for - day-to-day tasks, other server admins, etcetera. To be on the safe side, it is usually recommended to use the root account only when you really need it and not for tasks you can do through other accounts. You can use a web-based graphical interface or a Secure Shell console in order to connect to the server and to manage it at the root level.
