Mathematics

The core concept here is roots as the inverse of exponents. Since raising $7$ to the power of $3$ gives you $343$, you're looking for the name of the operation that reverses this—the one that asks "what number, when multiplied by itself three times, equals $343$?" That's your answer: the type of root is determined by the exponent.
