You seem to have the general idea correct.
This phrase comes from seeds. First you plant a seed in the soil, then the roots grow. When the roots grow, we say the soil "gives root" to the seed. (Sometimes people also say the seeds "give root" when their roots start growing.)
It can also be used as a metaphor, meaning that one small thing is the cause of a bigger thing. For instance:
"Eating unhealthy food gives root to heart disease."
Most people eat unhealthy food and don't think much about it, but it can lead to a big problem like heart disease.
This phrase isn't used very often, so it's hard to think of simple examples. I hope that one is easy to understand.

Sure,~~ here it is.~~
pulling nose hairs can be as bad for your brain as it is for your dating life. The danger is that you will break the skin somehow and ''''' give root to an infection'''' , which could subsequently migrate inward-into the base of the brain.
