regular ANBU answer to hokages whereas ROOT members obey danzo only (apparently)

they wear masks to conceal their identity (which village they're from) since they carry black ops mainly .

Root: a subdivision of Anbu created by Danzo to serve him and him only.

Presumably it was a legit Anbu training facility (as per fillers) but later it was disbanded, only to remain active in the shadows.

One is light and the other is darkness metaphorically speaking

or you could use Danzou's words "You were the leaf , Hiruzen and i hid in the shadows below as the root of the leaf"

same. they are one level below h\okage. they work for hokage, and for really high missions. root was made by danzo, more like his guarding or trusted man? usually root under danzo became double agent.

You could see Anbu as the CIA and Root a super secret division is completely hidden from the public

And Anbu answer to the Hokages while Root answer to Danzo only
