A FDR should not remove root. Are you on the same ota that you rooted originally? If you are you can just reroot if you loose it.
as long as the superuser app you're using is a system app, you'll retain root through a FDR. same rule applies to all other apps. anything you integrate into the system will remain after a FDR.
it's common for things like phone trackers and superuser apps* to apply themselves as system apps, for fairly obvious reasons. i also, personally, like to bake TiBu into my system, just makes restoring easier when something goes wrong.
*note: i'm referring to superuser apps, NOT "apps that require root". superuser apps are the ones that allow you to grant SU permissions to those apps that require root.
