I knew about the root user in *nix long before I knew about run levels and how to start X manually. It's like the Administrator account in Windows (at least, that's how most non-techies would understand it). Besides, some references online will frequently mention logging-in as root, even if it's not the most advisable. So there are many vectors through which someone can know about logging in as root without having the strongest technical background.
