It's called Root A to signify Kaneki's descent into the ghoul world, where he explores his 'roots' and faces harsher challenges.
Honestly, they just wanted to sound fancy. A for effort!
Root A highlights the series' exploration of core themes and fundamental changes for Kaneki and others. Think of it as digging up the roots of everything that's been buried.
