The Nth root of a number is a value that, when raised to the power of N, yields the original number. It generalizes the square root and cube root to any positive integer N, and is crucial in solving equations involving powers and in various fields like algebra and calculus.

The principal root of a number is the non-negative root that is typically considered the 'default' or primary solution when multiple roots exist, especially for even indices such as square roots. It is crucial in mathematical operations and equations to ensure consistency and avoid ambiguity in solutions.
