In gardening rooting refers to the cutting of plants in order to plant the cuttings for further growth.
Rooting also describes what animals may do when in search of things. Pigs are often used to go rooting for truffles. Dogs often dig at objects in the dirt and dig their noses in (rooting), in search of things.
In Australia (and occasionally in the United Kingdom) rooting is a slang obscenity for having sexual intercourse with someone.
In the US, Root is also a slang term for aligning ones self with a group or team, ie: They were rooting for their favourite football team.

Why did pigs have rings on there noses?
Some farmers put rings (called choat rings if I spelled that right) in their pigs noses to stop them from rooting in the dirt. The rings are C shaped when open and sharpened at both ends, they are applied with a specalized tool that clamps the ring closed onto the edge of the hogs nose and the result is that it is painful if they try to root at the ground. Rooting in the dirt can potenially lead to parasights and the passing on of disease .
