root: root
The root grammatical relation points to the root of the sentence. A
fake node ROOT is used as the governor. The ROOT node is indexed
with 0, since the indexing of real words in the sentence starts at 1.

Note: The following rule is not part of the official UD guidelines version 1. But it has been agreed that it should become part of the future versions of the standard, and the treebanks since release 1.2 should follow it.
There should be just one node with the root dependency relation in every
tree. If the main predicate is not present (due to ellipsis) and there are
multiple orphaned dependents, the leftmost dependent should be promoted to
the head (root) position and the other orphans should be attached to it.
