You are probably talking about a cube root, fourth root, etc.

For example, is a cube root. It means "what number can you raise to the third power and get 27?" Of course, the answer is 3, because .

As another example, is a fourth root. It means "what number can you raise to the fourth power and get 16?" Of course, the answer is 2, because .

I have a complete explanation of this as a Lesson Plan in algebra.com under "Square-cubic-other-roots." Also, see my own website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com, then go to Basic Algebra, the look for "Samples from Basic Algebra: One Step at a Time", then Chapter 5, which is a complete explanation of radicals.
