This statement is not entirely clear.
Note that
su(1) requires a different password than
sudo(8).
su(1) requires the password of the root account.
sudo(8) (if configured as such...) allows root access using the password of a user account.
Likewise, note that FreeBSD will only allow
su(1) to succeed
(even if the root password is known...) if & only if the user's account is a member of the
wheel group.
