The radical is the diving board that looks like a dividing symbol but has a check mark at the beginning. Inside the check mark is the index. If there is not one then it is understood to be a 2 for square root.

If a 3 is in the check mark it is cube root.

The root is how many times you use a factor to get a number.

The cube root of 27 is 3 because 3x3x3 =27.
