Ever used Linux? Root Access = access to everything; changing system settings and configurations.

Right now, we don't have access to the system files (Like the /Windows/ folder on a PC) Once we have root access, we will be able to access, alter, add, etc to this area, and completely customize our phones.

It is derived from the Warcraft RTS in which the Tree of Life Uproots and becomes a weapon.

Hence root.
