First of all, Welcome to TechWeeby. Probably if

So, all of us know that smartphone market is increasing day-by-day and with this Manufacturers are trying to invent better and more better SmartPhones with awesome features.

If No, then here you go...
                                   As per WikiPedia
Rooting is the process of allowing users of smartphonestablets and other devices running the Android mobile operating system to attain privileged control (known as root access) over various Android's subsystems. As Android uses the Linux kernel, rooting an Android device gives similar access to administrative permissions as on Linux or any other Unix-like operating system such as FreeBSD or OS X.

I know its Complicated , so let me Clear it for you. With  Root Access (thats what you gets after rooting) you can do things which can be illegal or legal as well. It gives you full authority of your Device and allows you to modify system files.
Have you noticed I said "Legal and Illegal"
Legal includes :
  • Using the access for Development Purposes.
  • Some apps requires root access (legally) eg. Clean Master Pro
  • Install Some Extra Cool Themes in your SmartPhone.                         
Illegal includes :
  • Removing system apps without proper permissions.
  • Using it for hacking purposes.
  • Using it for Harmful apps such as wifikill, donkey guard etc.
  • Using it to create any Hardware and Software issues and misuse of it to destroy someone's Personal Property.
