An Android user operating with root access is the equivalent to a Windows user operating with administrator permissions. Without the admin permissions, we do not have full access to the system.

If you deleted the wrong files from the internal system, you can damage the device. Furthermore, if you don't know how to easily identify malware, you could have it on your device more easily. Root access allows malware to find its way on a device far easier than it would with the restrictions in place by Google.
