“the symbol, which represents a number that when multiplied by itself equals another number,...”
Isn’t that usually case except when the number is 1?

No. 1x1 = 1 and 0x0 = 0. Square-root does not work BELOW 0.

Not only is that not quite right but what does it tell you when they have to define the meaning of a freaking square root sign?

I think you mean -1. And the sq rt of -1 is i, an imaginary number that doesn’t really exist.

“the symbol, which represents a number that when multiplied by itself equals another number,...” Yeah. Journalism majors aren't big on coherent thought - or understanding mathematics.
Maybe: “the symbol encloses a number, and together represent a number that when multiplied by itself equals the number under the symbol”
