State Root is a hash that represents the world state of all the accounts.

The state root is a value that is used to represent the current state of a blockchain. In the context of decentralized finance (DeFi), the state root is a value that is used to represent the current state of a DeFi protocol or application.

The state root is an important concept in DeFi, as it provides a way to quickly and efficiently verify the current state of the protocol or application. By using the state root, users can quickly and easily verify that a particular transaction or state change is valid and has been recorded on the blockchain.

The state root is typically generated using a cryptographic hash function, which produces a unique value that is based on the current state of the protocol or application. This value can be shared with other users, who can use it to verify the current state of the protocol or application without having to go through the entire blockchain.
