The square brackets indicate that the enclosed item is optional. Thus, the simplest way to use the su command is to just type:

su

The operating system assumes that, in the absence of a username, the user wants to change to a root session, and thus the user is prompted for the root password as soon as the ENTER key is pressed. This produces the same result as typing:

su root

If the correct password is provided, ownership of the session is changed to root.
