Root [Verizon] explain IMEI please

IMEI is just the unique identifier that Verizon uses to differentiate your phone from everyone else's on their network. Instead of a SIM card on GSM Networks, you have an IMEI number.

(AKA ESN number)

What does it have to do with rooting and romming

If you mess up and don't back up properly you can erase the number on your phone. Then your phone won't be recognized by Verizon and you'll have an ipod touch.
