“the symbol, which represents a number that when multiplied by itself equals another number,”

That description is completely incoherent and flat out wrong in every respect. The symbol doesn’t represent a number. It represents a function. And even if it did represent a number, EVERY number when multiplied by itself equals another number.

What a mess.

EVERY number when multiplied by itself equals another number.

1x1=1 ???

Is 1 not a number? Are you racists or prejudice against the #1?

And even if it did represent a number, EVERY number when multiplied by itself equals another number.

Except for zero and one.
