A radical symbol indicates taking a root. A radical symbol alone indicates a square root (or equivalently, raising to the 1/2 power). If there is a small superscript number just to the left of the radical, then that indicates which root to take (square root for 2, cube root for 3, forth root for 4, fifth root for five, etc). This means raising to the 1/x power, where x is the small superscript number to the left of the radical.

What is the point called where the radical emerges?

The point where the radical emerges is called the "radical sign" or "radical symbol," typically represented by the symbol √. This sign indicates the extraction of a root, most commonly the square root, of the number or expression that follows it. For example, in the expression √x, the radical sign signifies the square root of x.
