Lightroots,[name references needed] also known as Glowing Roots,[1] and Roots That Dispel the Darkness,[2] are locations in Tears of the Kingdom.
Features and Overview
Lightroots are the roots of giant Trees found in the Depths. Link can activate them to illuminate a small portion of the Depths. When activated, they reveal the surrounding area on the Purah Pad's Map and become available for use as Travel Points. Standing under their light also reverses the effects of Gloom on Link's maximum health as though he were on the Surface.[2]
Each Lightroot has a corresponding Shrine of Light on the Surface.[3] The names of each Shrine of Light are anadromes of each Lightroot, with their names spelled in reverse.

Hey, you!
— Note on the Table (Tears of the Kingdom)
It's REALLY dark down here. Not one bit of light gets here from the surface. Even with my goggles, I can hardly see.
I really should have brought some brightbloom seeds with me.
As one of the few sources of light, the glowing root growing down from above has piqued my curiosity.
I'm not sure what it is, but it looks harmless enough. This place is roughly under the shrine on the surface. Hmm...
Anyway, I'm off to the glowing root I see shining west of here, so you better hurry up and get moving! - ↑ 2.0 2.1
