If you have a square, then

-- Its area is the SQUARE of the length of its side,and

-- The length of its side is the SQUARE ROOT of its area.

That's where these numbers got the names 'square' and 'square root'.

If we know that area of a square is
A=a^2,
where a is one side
applying square roots we can find side knowing the area
a=
√(A)
where A is area of a square.
Its the relationship between square roots and area of a square.
