How to Root my Moto E4

Rooting the device is not recommended. This will void the warranty of the device, and it will limit the support that you can receive.
If u still want to do so try this step
It depends on which variant of the Motorola Moto E4 that you have. The Verizon variant (xt1767), for example, has an unlockable bootloader and cannot be fully rooted. The Sprint, Virgin Mobile & Boost Mobile variant (xt1766) can be rooted with these steps:
  1. Unlock your device's bootloader by using Motorola/Lenova's website and bootloader unlocking support page;
  2. Flash your device with TWRP custom recovery;
  3. Using custom recovery mode, install Magisk v16.0 Systemless Rooting Interface, which is in the form of an archived zip file;
That's all there is to it. Of course, this is only a brief explanation of the steps needed to root the xt1766 Moto E4. Precise instructions and needed files for the job can be found at XDA Developers by searching for Motorola Moto E4 in the search box. Good luck.
