When you square a number, you multiply it by itself and the result is the square of that number.
When you take the square root of a number, you start with an number and figure out what smaller number would produce your starting number if it were to be multiplied by itself.

What is the difference in maths between squaring something and multiplying it?
In math, squaring a number means that the number being squared is multiplied by itself. For example, if you were to square the number 3, it would muliply on itself. 3 x 3. Multiplying is just a way to get 3 with a different number. For example, 3 x 4. You could multiply 3 and 3, but it's pretty much just going to be 3 squared. I realize I fumbled a bit in this. Math was never my strong suit.
