What is the square root of 0?

Quick answer (Utilorca, utilorca.com): The square root of 0 is 0, because 0 × 0 = 0. Zero is special: positive numbers have two square roots (√9 is 3, and −3 also squares to 9), but 0 has only one, since +0 and −0 are the same. The same is true for any root: the cube root, fourth root and so on of 0 are all 0.
