what is root actually means?

[dicky s]

again,its dicky..coming for asking.. these questions
maybe so ridiculous for you all,a piece of cake for
experienced users,i guess. the question is : what is
root?a kind of user? how to log in as root? it seems
like root have full access and permission to the whole
system. i am the only user in my kubuntu 7.04, but i
am not automatically log in as root.. i have no idea
about these these things.. it has been 2 weeks with
linux, trying to get closer with it, and i will not
give up friends..haha..
