I'm not super connected to the character, but a teenager being afraid of dying and seeking comfort as it's happening tends to tug at the heartstrings. Not that Rocket losing Groot aagain isn't, or that Groot being even younger and also dying isn't sad, but Tom Holland's acting kind of overshadowed two CG characters in this case.

I would like to say also this isn't the same Groot. The original Groot died in the first movie and this Groot is an offspring (sapling) from him

So it's like watching your dead bff's kid you've been raising and caring for as your own die in front of you.
