Every Valheim world is generated from its seed, so no page can say where anything is. What is fixed for every seed is the conditions above: the ring a biome is confined to, and the ground a node will accept.

Root is in the Materials category in Valheim, and every number on this page is read straight from the game files for the current build. That includes the ones the in-game tooltip shows you and the ones it never does: reach, swing arc, how many hits the combo runs to and what the final one multiplies by.

Root FAQ

How do you get Root in Valheim?

Root is not crafted. It comes from Abomination (Swamp).

What are the stats of Root in Valheim?

They are listed above, at every quality level Root reaches. Some of those figures come from Valheim's own item tooltip; the rest — reach, swing arc, combo length, what the secondary attack multiplies — are read from the game files, because the tooltip never shows them.

What is Root used for in Valheim?

The things that consume it number 6, across Crafted into. That list is the honest answer to whether a stack is worth keeping: something with a single use is worth exactly one project, while something that feeds recipes, a station and a build piece at once is worth a dedicated chest.

How much does Root weigh in Valheim?

0.3 each, and it stacks to 50 — so a full stack is 15 of your carry limit. It is portal-safe, which means the weight only matters between here and the nearest portal rather than for the whole journey home.
