A square root is not a number system. Square roots of non-negative numbers may be rational or irrational, but they all belong to the set of real numbers.

The square roots of negative numbers do not. To include them, the number system needs to be extended to the complex 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?).
