Total Noob Question about the Droid Razr M and Rooting

[Gunner2000]

Ok y'all I'm just going to come out and preface this by saying that I'm a noob when it comes to rooting phones and don't quite understand it. What is rooting exactly? What are the benefits to rooting? Does it void the phone's warranty? And what is the best method for rooting the Droid RAZR M running 4.1.1 Jelly Bean?
Gunner out!

I'm a noob to Motorola devices but yes rooting will void your warranty. Rooting is cool, but be careful what you do after you root. Most people root to flash roms and customize their phones. There's a great root method here in this forum, in the stickies section.
