When I type in “sudo -s” in the command line, I changed to root user without typing in any passwords. I’m confused why this happened. From my understanding. Can someone explain that?

Because this/previous session you was root also.
lets say if you entered as root,
sudo -s– no action. Or you created session, entered as root, closed for example ssh connection and entered once more (during 5 min), the result, you still stay as root
