Each IP refers to multiple physical servers, you'll get the one closest to you.
There's a map at root-servers.org.
If they didn't exist, resolvers wouldn't know where to start.
Sad resolver thinks: I need to query c.ca-servers.net but where is that? I'm the DNS erver, I can't ask MYSELF for the IP address?!
Every resolver has the root IPs hardcoded in its source code.
