5 is the square root of 25. Square root means a number that makes some quantity when multiplied by itself. 5x5=25     just like 4 is the square root of 16, since 4x4=16

The square root of 25 is 5

The square root of something is what times the same number equals something. For example the square root of 25 is 5 because 5x5 = 25

The square root of 16 would be 4 because 4x4 = 16, and so on.

Square roots that don't equal a specific number are solvable, but that's a whole different lesson.

Hoped I was able to help :)
