root-access security linux kernel sandboxing

                          I came across a line in this page . 

> **"The Android system assigns a unique user ID (UID) to each Android application and runs it as that user in a separate process. This
> approach is different from other operating systems (including the
> traditional Linux configuration), where multiple applications run with
> the same user permissions."**

Can anyone please explain what the first line means?
