This is normal. The root process is a daemon monitor with the only purpose of restarting Squid if it should crash. The proxy service is running in the "nobody" process. If you do not want this then you can use the -N commandline flag to disable the daemon mode of Squid and find some other way to have Squid started as a daemon. But personally I see no reason why to do this unless you have a system with a very good daemon controller (most UNIX systems don't have that kind of thing, or at least not in a sane manner..)
