While moving it to /home could be done, it is not that easy for a newbie, and is not a good idea for other reasions. Besides, the amount of data in /root is not large.
One thing that can be comfusing when talking about directory scructures is that when you say the root directory, you are referring to /, and not /root. /root is user root's home directory. It is a seperate directory off of / so that it is always available, even when booting in troubleshooting modes where /home may not be mounted.
