Root user in Activity Monitor

Hello,

I did not enable the root user, and I checked the Directory Utility, it is not enabled. But when I click on the Activity Monitor, I see processes by me(admin user) and other processes by "root".

Does that mean that someone has remote access to my mac? or it is normal even if root is disabled?

Thank you

Macbook Pro, Mac OS X (10.6.6)
