It is the number that is multiplied by itself to get another number.

For example, what number do you multiply by itself to get 25?

The answer is 5, because 5 multiplied by itself is 25.

Another way to say 5 x 5 is 'five squared', written as 52

25 (i.e. the result of 5 x 5) is 'the square' of 5.

And 5 is the root, the 'square root' of 25.

The square root of a number is what multiplied by itself gives you that number For example, the square root of 81 is 9 since 9x9= 81. Another example is 144. The square root of 144 is 12 since 12x12=144.
