assume that the power series $\sum a_n z^n$converges in some disk $|z|<R$ , if the sum $a(z)$ is a zero function then all coefficient must be $0$, I am not understanding what does it mean by if the sum $a(z)$ is a zero function? please help

It is saying the limit of this series is zero for all $z$ such that $|z|<R$.

To prove this, plug in $z=0$, to see that $a_0=0$. Then take the derivative and plug in zero to get $a_1=0$. Do induction to get the rest of the coefficients.
