It means you're running as root a machine named DESKTOP-9R2GIKO. And those "things"are system folders.

By default, when you start a new shell (Terminal) in Ubuntu, the following will show up.
<name of user>@<name of host machine>
In your case, it's root@DESKTOP-9R2GIKO
. So that means you are logged in as the root
user to a machine named DESKTOP-9R2GIKO
.
As for ls
, it's a command which lists a directory's content.
If you are interested in learning more about the command line, I would strongly suggest taking some courses. You can find lots of free courses online. You can also find a brief description about in the tag's description here on Ask Ubuntu.
