Can sum1 xplain 2 me wat root means i.e rooting a phone? And also its benefits

Android rooting is the process
of allowing users of
smartphones, tablets, and other
devices running the Android
mobile operating system to attain
privileged control (known as
"root access") within Android's
subsystem. Rooting is often
performed with the goal of
overcoming limitations that
carriers and hardware
manufacturers put on some
devices, resulting in the ability to
alter or replace system
applications and settings, run
specialized apps that require
administrator-level permissions,
or perform other operations that
are otherwise inaccessible to a
normal Android user. Rooting is
similar to jailbreaking devices
running the Apple iOS operating
system. On Android, rooting can
also facilitate the complete
removal and replacement of the
device's operating system, usually
with a more recent release of its
current operating system.
