Opening a terminal in admin window which means any commands you put in that windows will always have admin privilege, no matter what.

What does Sudo is to only provide the root/admin privileges for specific inputted command. Once it is done, it goes back to user privileges. This way, the terminal window didn't need to end the session to go back to user privileges.
