The System is Root User. You can be, but are not Root User. You are  
'merely' Admin, kind of like the Vice President in Charge of  
Operations. In a way this protects you from doing something dangerous  
with your OS. You can still run the company from day to day.

So it is the OS itself, as Root User which can do stuff without your  
Admin permission.
