both means that means giving superuser (think...admin) access, giving you access to system files and the ability to change things that normally are marked read only?
i confused the meaning of these two！

no, they are not the same...
rooted phone - has root access permissions
flashed phone - a rooted phone that has been flashed w/ a custom ROM
Most if not all custom ROMs will include Superuser/Root access
bottom line, you need root access to change system files, some apps also require root access to run.....so w/o root, you cannot use those apps.
So even if you don't flash a custom ROM, if you want to change certain things on the phone that involves files in the \system (ie..changing the notification bar), you will need root access
