I would use Root Test when the terms of the series are in the form of some expression to the nth power; otherwise, I would try other tests first.
Example
Let us look at examine the convergence of the series:
By Root Test,
by dividing the numerator and the denominator by
Hence, the series is absolutely convergent.
I hope that this was helpful.
