There are different levels of root on an Android device. There's root in the OS, which is possible with older FireTVs, and allows free access to all FireOS settings, and installing apps that have access to features otherwise not available due to the permissions of the OS. Then there's a lower level of root access, that gives you access to the bootloader itself. Which would almost be equivalent to BIOS on a PC. At that point, you're no longer confined to the FireOS. You could install other OSes as long as the hardware is capable of it. Like vanilla Android builds. It makes quite a bit possible that wasn't before..
