In order to find the square root, we must find a number that when multiplied by itself one time, it produces the number under consideration.

In the case of 64, the square root is 8 because 8 multiplied once by itself is 64.

However, when finding the cube root, the root must multiply by itself two times and make the number.

In the case of 64, 4 multiplied by itself two times is 64.
