Not being funny but if you're not sure if you should root then I would suggest you don't. Rooting will give you access to parts of the OS you normally wouldn't be able to access which allows a greater degree of customization such as deleting system apps. If you don't have a specific reason for rooting I'd recommend leaving things alone.

Thank you for your advise. I have a chinese fone which i got 2 years ago from here (hotukdeals) and we all managed to root it and i find it easy to move any new apps to the SD card rather than leaving them on phones's internal memory and then later the fone telling me " YOUR INTERNAL MEMORY IS LOW".....thats the only reason.

this fone i purchsed MOTO G 2nd gen XT 1068 .....is i think 5GB internal memory and the chinese one i have currently is 1 GB internal memory....so i just needed advise...

thank you for your advise....please continue as i am a total unaware how this works. cheers
