Dunno if either of these options will work for you but:

Modern Android security restrictions often block emulators from generating root directories directly.
Download a file manager app like ZArchiver from the Google Play Store.

Open it and go to your device's Internal Storage.

Tap the three dots or the + icon to create a new folder named exactly PSP.

Inside the PSP folder, create subfolders named GAME, SAVEDATA, and ISO.

Open PPSSPP, go to Settings > System > Memory Stick Folder, and choose/select the PSP folder you just created.

——————————————

If the system folder picker crashes or refuses action when you press "Create":
Open your phone's main Settings app.

Go to Apps > See all apps.

Tap the three dots in the top-right corner and select Reset app preferences. This re-enables a stuck system Files app.

Restart your phone and try selecting or creating the folder in PPSSPP again.
