That's not root's crontab; it's the system crontab.  It differs from
all of the other crontabs by having an extra field for the user to run
the command as:

#minute hour    mday    month   wday    who     command
                                        ^^^

root's personal crontab works just like every other user's, and is
edited using "crontab -e" as root.
