Do you mean root%283%2C24%29?? If so, then the index is 3, and the 24 (what is inside the radical sign!) is called the radicand.

For a detailed explanation of this see my website by clicking on my tutor name "rapaljer" anywhere in algebra.com. Take the first link which is "Basic, Intermediate, or College Algebra: One Step at a Time." Click on "Basic Algebra", then "Chapter 5", and look for Section 5.02 Cube Roots and More. My explanations here are for students who don't understand the traditional textbooks.
