By convention, the root account is for minimal necessary admin and shouldn't be used for work that can be done as a normal user. Some distros even disable root login by default in an attempt to hide potential footguns from new users.

What do you think should (or shouldn't) go in .profile, .bashrc, etc for the root user account? Do you have any special safeguards, custom prompt, or user provisions for the root shell?
