the 'root' is the home directory on your server or your own computer. e.g. in MS
DOS C:\> is (was?) the "root directory" i.e. the lowest level of directorys you
can go past or further back than the 'root' directory. The term is used across
different computing platforms and O/S and is pretty much generic terminology in
computing.
