A time invariant system is a system for which when a signal passes through a system and then is time shifted, it is equal to when the signal is time shifted and then passed through the system.

For Example:

System --> sqrt[of signal] = Time invariant

In other words,

X(t) is input signal

X(t) --> system --> y(t) = sqrt[X(t)] --> delay --> z(t) = sqrt[X(t - t0)]

is equivalent to

X(t) --> delay --> Y(t) = X(t - t0) --> system --> z(t) = sqrt[X(t - t0)]

Therefore it is Time invariant.
