A "root" user has the power to do anything on a Linux system. A "normal user" will be assigned some of these capabilities based on what group they are in, but is generally prevented from running any commands that may affect the system outside of their home directory. Users can be granted "sudo" rights, which allows them to run the sudo command and temporarily be granted root privileges.
The root account is a built-in account with administrative priviledges in Linux. An admin user is usually a different account with priviledges to do certain administrative tasks. The admin user account is not a built-in account and must be added and managed appropriately. The root account comes with the system.
the sign for root partition in linux is : /
/boot is where the Linux kernel images, as well as parts of the bootloader are stored. The "root" is simply the uppermost directory in a Unix/Linux file system. Any directory that is not given it's own partition will be placed as a subdirectory in the file system on the "root" partition. Assuming you gave a partition to /etc, /bin, /boot, /usr, and so on, you wouldn't need a "root" partition at all.
There are many differences between Windows NT and Linux. Skipping over the obvious ones ( Windows NT is made by Microsoft, Linux has a higher server market share, etc...), probably the most interesting difference is how security is structured. Linux's basic security / permissions structure is modeled after that of older Unices. Different users are assigned different privileges, and a single "root" user can do anything. Windows NT has no "root" user, and no single account has absolute power. In theory, this makes NT more secure, since more accounts would have to be compromised to gain control of the system. In practice, a single "Administrator" account is all that is usually needed to hijack an NT system, and many Linux distributions disable the root account by default.
tap root and fibers roots
Iptables for Linux is the equivalent of firewalls for Windows. Iptables require elevated privileges to operate and must be executed by user root. That is the main difference from configuring other Linux services.

your mom and my grandma. get the difference ;)
The Linux administrator is called the "root" user.
What Is The Difference Between TapRoot And Fibrous Root? Tap rootgives the support to the plant and fibrous rootsearch the water and mineral salts in the ground. A main root is a tap root.
The root account is the administrative account on Linux; this account has control over everything in the system.
The root directory is usually /.
