Rooks are one of the most powerful pieces in the game. They move left, right, up or down. You can use them to do something known as castling. You can learn about castling here.

They are the castles, look like towers, very good for killing pawns but sometimes lose against 2 or 3 pawns

Your rooks are the castle pieces that can move orthogonally. Their starting positions are usually on the corners of the board
