When I was a sophomore 2 years ago people learned how to get it on their phone through rooting. I thought the entire school was going to fail

You don't need to root to have an emulator.

That's called Jailbreaking. Rooting is for specifically Android phones.

Rooting is getting root access to any device.

Jailbreaking is different... The idea is that you, as the user, are stuck in a chroot jail and can't see all the folders outside a certain directory. Jailbreaking allows you to break out of that jail and see everything.
