Root has several different meanings. At least two in mathematics and many more elsewhere.
1. root of an equation = zero of an equation
2. root as in square/cube root = radical
Some people have suggested root as in base, but I have yet to come across that in any mathematical text.

∙ 11y agoThere is no specific collective noun for the noun roots, in which case a noun suitable for the situation is used, for example I've seen the terms a system of roots or a tangle of roots. You can also be more creative, for example a snag of roots or a maze of roots.
