The command "adb root" is used in Android Debug Bridge (ADB) to restart the ADB daemon with root privileges.

ADB is a versatile command-line tool that enables communication between a computer and an Android device. It allows developers and users to perform various tasks such as installing or uninstalling apps, accessing the file system, debugging applications, and executing shell commands on an Android device.

By default, when using ADB, the daemon runs with limited privileges or in "user" mode. This means that certain commands or operations that require elevated permissions (such as accessing system files or executing privileged actions) are restricted. However, by invoking the "adb root" command, the ADB daemon is restarted as the "root" user, which grants it administrative privileges.

It's important to note that "adb root" is primarily intended for development or debugging purposes, and not for regular usage. Additionally, some devices or manufacturers may have restrictions or limitations on using the root functionality, so it may not work on all Android devices.
