No, administrator and root are not the same thing.  If you are 
administrator, you can sudo from the command line which allows you to 
run commands as root.  Unlocking with the little loc icon on various 
installers and such does something similar.

Root access is disabled by default, but as an administrator you can 
enable it with NetInfo Manager.  Once you do that, you can log in as 
root and use the finder and everything else as root.  That is truly 
all powerful.  Almost anyway.  You still don't have power over 
software bugs.
