By definition, a number is square if it is the product of some whole number and itself. For example, 9 is a square number, because it is 3 times 3.

100 is square, since 100=10x10.

They are called square numbers, because that many stones could be neatly arranged in a square. 9 stones would make a 3 by 3 square, and 100 stones would make a 10x10.
