Best Answer

A number that has a square root has to be able to be the product of two of the same numbers.

Example:

4 x 4 = 16

16 can have a square root because 4 and 4 are the same.

10 can't have a square root because 2 x 5 = 10, and 2 and 5 aren't the same numbers.

What does a non-square root mean?

It doesn't mean anything. If you've actually seen the term used by a mathematician (which I doubt), you might be able to determine from context what it means, but without that context it's pointless to even try."Square root" has a specific meaning, but "non-square root" could mean that the number in question is not a square root (ludicrous... every number is the square root of something), or that it's not the square root of a given number (an almost equally useless concept), or that it's a root of some kind but not a square root (just tell us what kind of root it is. Cube? Fourth?).
