nth root of a number 'a' is represented by the expression,


\sqrt[n]{a}

In this expression 'n' = Index of of the radical


\sqrt[4]{16} is called the 4th root of 16.

In
\sqrt[4]{16}, the index is 4 and the radicand is 16.

4th root of 16 can be represented by
\sqrt[4]{16}


\sqrt[4]{16}=(16)^{(1)/(4)}


=(2^(4))^{(1)/(4)}

= 2
