Why do I have to use sudo before iwconfig when logged in as root in Debian 10?

iwconfig gives error message unless I use sudo command. I understand that this is normal if I'm logged in as a regular user, but it happens when I'm root as well. Why is Debian requiring me to use the sudo command for iwconfig when I'm logged in as root and how would I fix this? :)latest?d=yIl2AUoC8zA latest?i=vjcevMB-oQ0:VXxFL5Ujjkg:F7zBnMy latest?i=vjcevMB-oQ0:VXxFL5Ujjkg:V_sGLiP latest?d=qj6IDK7rITs latest?i=vjcevMB-oQ0:VXxFL5Ujjkg:gIN9vFwvjcevMB-oQ0
