As you know rooting an Android phone gives you all the admin privileged control (Root access) over Android subsystems. It is just similar access to administrative permissions as on Linux or Unix-like OS such as Mac OS. In other words, by rooting your Android phone you will gain control over the internal system through which you can modify or replace some system protected files, components, etc.
You can also use some special apps which are mainly made for rooted devices. In this article, I have compiled a list of best root apps you should definitely try.
