What is third person omniscient?

pronouns such as, he, she, or they.
The narrator is not part of the story, but
describes the actions of those who are
involved.
The book is written in a third person limited perspective.
WHY?
It is written in this way because the story revolves around Tasha specifically, and how her home and school life are affected by the things occurring around her. It shows her development and allows for her take on what is going on around her.
