Answer:

The Index

Explanation:

A radical expression is composed of three parts:

The Radicand - The number or term under the horizontal bar of the radical symbol.

Radical Symbol - The Radical Symbol √

Index - The number near the "check" part of the radical symbol.

In the given expression, 4 is the index. We are supposed to find the 4th root of x to the third power.

Hope this helps.
