Originally, root beer was beer made from roots. But they changed it to pop. I guess they liked the name and haven't changed it since.
Root beer is made from an extract of sarsaparilla roottraditionally and good quality root beers still are. To reduce costs some substitute artificial flavors for part or all of this extract or use extracts from other less expensive roots.
Before they thought of adding carbonation, the drink was called Root tea. The first carbonated root beers were partially fermented to get the carbonation and so were true alcoholic beers! You can still find homemade root beer recipes using fermentation on packages of the extract.
