Permissions denied in Kali Linux

Question

I cannot get into /root and even when i use "sudo ls /root" it asks me for the password then nothing happens. Im new to linux and when I was testing out Kali linux i tried using permission commands like entering into /root but it did not accept. I tried using "sudo cd /root" but when i run this i get "sudo: cd: command not found". However when i check binaries in /bin the sudo command is there.

(1) "nothing happens" – If /root is empty, what do you expect? (2) Why is cd not a program? (3) "I'm new to Linux" – Yeah… — Kamil Maciorowski, Oct 02 '21 at 22:59
It you're new to Linux then Kali is not the right distribution to try. Pick one of the more friendly distributions - Mint and Ubuntu are two that spring to mind — Chris Davies, Oct 03 '21 at 00:01

Use sudo -s and enter password to change user to root. Then you can cd to /root
