Definition: The word "root" in this context refers to a root or foundation, often associated with the biblical concept of God's being as the Creator of all things. It comes from the Greek root "rootos," meaning "to lay out." In this sense, "root.asp" is a metaphorical term for God's divine nature and purpose, similar to how an apple tree laid its roots in the ground for a specific purpose - to bear fruits or produce nourishment.
