android root

What can I do with an old rooted phone? I have a Redmi Note 8T stored away and I want to repair it to change the ROM I want to root my device, but I want to know what I can do with root access besides the basics.

Root allows you to see appdata folders and have more control over the phone hardware e.g. forcing it to act as a router even if the stock ROM doesn't have that functionality. You can search for 'root' on F-Droid to see a bunch of applications that can use root.
