There's definitely a principle that gives rise to knowledge/information, but I wouldn't call knowledge a root by itself.

Where does knowledge actually come from? How do you evaluate a piece of knowledge? What is the point of knowledge in the first place? Why bother learning anything? How do we even acquire knowledge?

There are virtually endless paths to explore as you try to find your way down into the roots. You can spend weeks just criss-crossing among the branches by asking how and why questions.
