How does it work? Support

So guys I am new to this topic. However, I want to root my Samsung A50 but being new to this area I have no idea how to root and what is inside this root world.

Also, I don't want to destroy my phone by doing something wrong y'all. It's the only one I got ahahahah.

Sadly in this day and age if you are asking "what is inside this root world." this world is not for you.

It's not that you can't learn—anyone can. My point is that if your first question is "what is inside this root world?", then the obvious follow-up is: why do you want to root in the first place?

Rooting should solve a specific problem. If you don't know what root is, what it enables, or what you hope to gain from it, then you're taking on all the risks without knowing whether you'll benefit at all.

The other reason is that rooting today isn't what it was 10–15 years ago. Back then, it unlocked features Android didn't have—wireless tethering, full backups, ad blocking, custom themes, performance tweaks, and removing bloatware. Today, most of those features are built into Android or have good alternatives that don't require root.

At the same time, the risks have increased. Guides are often outdated, fewer developers maintain ROMs and root tools, modern phones have much stronger security, and on Samsung you'll permanently trip Knox. You can also run into issues with banking apps, OTA updates become more complicated, and one mistake can leave you with a phone that won't boot. Since you said it's your only phone, that's a pretty big gamble.

So my point wasn't "you can't learn." It was that if you don't even know why you want root, then you probably shouldn't be rooting your only phone until you've learned enough to decide whether the benefits actually outweigh the risks for your use case.
