General Debian • [Discussion] Help me understand root and sudo

$

During my first install of Debian/Bookworm, I was given the option of setting a root password, or not. Coming from Mint, I knew to use sudo so I chose no root password. I recently needed to use Recovery Mode, which demonstrated the need for a root user. I am perplexed as to the why and why not of sudo and root in the terminal. When to use one over the other? I need some schooling.
