That depends, did you create with uid=0 and gid=0?  If not, you've 
created a group that is called root, but without root privileges.

uid=0 doesn't need to be a member of any groups - for the most part it
is a special user that has full access to everything (networked 
environments can change this, for example root_squash in nfs).
