First thing I would say is if you don't know or am unsure of what "root" is or why you need it, don't do it. You can really mess up you phone and VZW will not help you as you voided the warranty on it.
Now, you can tell if you are rooted by looking in the settings menu under about phone or phone info (not sure what the call it on the Eris) and looking for what firmware ver you have.
