They are similar in basically everything because they're inverse operations.

Inverse operations are operations that do the smae thing, but the opposite way. If one multiplies, the other one divides. If one sums the other one subratcts.


→ Exponents multiply the same number by itself a given amount of times to obtain the answer.

→ Roots get a number and look for another one that multiplied by itself a given amount of times reult in the initial number.
