"Root" in the UK
But both pronunciations "root" and "rowt" are common in the US.
I think "root" is more common in the eastern US and "rowt" more common in the west.

I always used to say 'rowt' when I was younger, but my dad always corrected me, saying it was wrong. It's interesting to see that both are used in the US.

Both are fine. In the US, "root" is used more in reference to a particular road, while "rowt" refers more to the path or direction traveled.
Example:
He drove to California on "Root" 66. It was not the fastest "Rowt".
