images\purify_sml.gifroot type

The root type of an object as reported in a memory heap dump (if known), or "unreachable".

If you selectively instrumented classes and specified /MemprofTrackExcludedClassObjects in Additional options in the Files tab in the settings dialog box or from the command line, objects created by excluded classes will have a root type of "excluded".

Root type is unrelated to the .Root. node that is generated for memory profiling datasets.
