Root refers to the base of the spanning tree (the root bridge). This field

bridge.
This is the maximum time (in seconds) the Switch can wait without
MAX Age
receiving a configuration message before attempting to reconfigure.
This is the time interval (in seconds) at which the root switch transmits a

Current Bridge Status
MAC address This is the MAC address of the current bridge.
Priority is used in determining the root switch, root port and designated
port. The switch with the highest priority (lowest numeric value) becomes
the STP root switch. If all switches have the same priority, the switch with
Priority
the lowest MAC address will then become the root switch.
Priority determines the root bridge, which in turn determines the Root
Hello Time, Root Maximum Age and Root Forwarding Delay.
This is the maximum time (in seconds) the Switch can wait without
MAX Age receiving a BPDU before attempting to reconfigure. All Switch ports
(except for designated ports) should receive BPDUs at regular intervals.
