What Is Rooting?
Rooting is the process by which you regain administrative access to your phone. It opens up otherwise impossible options to your phone.
Why Root?
Full control over your system
Ability to install 3rd party applications, themes etc
Backup your phone
Relocate your phones caches thus allowing you to save phone memory = Faster Phone
Install applications to your SD CARD thus allowing you to save phone memory = = Faster Phone
OkOk That Sounds Great...But What Are The Downsides huh?!1?11?
You will lose the ability to receive over the air updates. (Not a big deal)
Void warranty (But you can un-root you phone so this is not a problem)
3rd Party App may maliciously control your phone (Not likely)
These are just some reasons. Please your a search engine with the term 'android root' and you can read up on other reasons.
