James Gunn previously shot down this rumour, tweeting: 'His name is not Tree' – however, there's no confirmation that this is canon. One theory about the fan favourite was previously confirmed – that the Groot in Vol 2 is actually a descendant of Groot, after the first Groot sacrificed himself in the first movie.
Groot's language is known to Thor, but he's likely just calling Groot “tree” by his looks rather than his name. In the comics, Groot's actual full name is “His Divine Majesty King Groot the 23rd, Monarch of Planet X, custodian of the branch worlds, ruler of all the shades.”
Groot is an extraterrestrial tree monster who initially came to Earth seeking humans to capture and study. Groot was seemingly destroyed by termites used by Leslie Evans. Xemnu made a duplicate of Groot by making a human and tree hybrid that was used to fight the Hulk, but it was destroyed in the battle.
Audiences may have assumed the case of mistaken identity was the result of some combination of Thor's indifference and his preoccupation with defeating Thanos. After all, he didn't bother to call Groot by his real name either, settling for "Tree" instead.
Thor's hammer Mjolnir was defined by the fact that only the 'worthy' could lift it – so basically no-one except the god of thunder (and Vision, for some reason). But when it comes to the weapon's replacement, Stormbreaker – which Thor forges in Avengers: Infinity War – Groot is able to lift it too.
How does Gravik get Groot's powers in Secret Invasion? Though not yet confirmed, it seems like Gravik will get Groot's powers by using the Guardians of the Galaxy hero's harvested DNA. In the show's trailer, Gravik can be seen wielding powers that are very similar to Groot's.
Towards the end of the Marvel Cinematic Universe sequel, Groot says, “I love you guys” — a departure from his usual dialogue of “I am Groot.” James Gunn has confirmed that this isn't actually Groot vocalizing the words “I love you guys,” but rather, the moment signifies that the audience has spent enough time with the ...
Unfortunately, as tree people, flora colossi possess wooden larynxes that make speaking very difficult. The only words they can manage are "I am Groot." (The MCU's Groot's use of "we are" during his sacrifice was apparently not a light undertaking.)
Groot was the last of his kind once Ronan's army had erased the Flora colossus, however Groot was able to save the World Pod within himself, which he could use to recreate the Flora colossus race by planting it in the sacred pool. Groot used World Pod during the Guardians battle with Thanos, which rendered it useless.
But one godly connection might technically give one of Earth's Mightiest Heroes an unlikely brother. The revelations about Phoenix and Gaea in Avengers 1,000,000 BC #1 (by Jason Aaron, Kev Walker, Dean White, and VC's Cory Petit) suggest that Thor might actually be brothers with Groot of the Guardians of the Galaxy.
And while people think that the new. baby Groot is still Groot Number one, it's actually an entirely new Groot, confirmed by James Gunn, who describes the first Groot as. someone who was treated like an animal his whole life, and the new Groot is someone who grew up with a family.
Groot (Legrand in French) is a Dutch surname. Groot (pronounced [ɣroːt]) means "big" in Dutch and was originally the name for a tall person. The name is most common in the province of North Holland.
Groot - his mother is Gamora, to him, in his eyes. We've seen Baby Groot, and how much Gamora loves him in Volume 2, and how much he loves her. Like... that is his mom.
Different aspects of his growth may take longer or shorter than a human's." So there we have it! "Infinity War" Groot could easily be the equivalent of say, a 12-year-old, while the 2014 Groot could have been more akin to a 19-year-old, even if the human math doesn't exactly line up.
Should something destroy his body, he can regenerate as long as fragments (i.e. twigs, leaves, etc.) remain. As long as they are properly replanted, they will grow into new Groots that retain all of his memories. At full height, he can reach 23 feet tall and weigh 8,000 pounds.
We last saw Groot continuing his journey with the Guardians, now a bit more mature and bulky. The Skrulls likely were able to obtain Groot's DNA through some left-over detached branches during his time on Earth during either Infinity War or Endgame.
As we all saw at the end of Guardians of the Galaxy when Groot heroically turns into a wooden roll cage and sacrifices himself for his fellow teammates, he can grow back from almost anything. So long as there's some good soil and a pot around, he is basically immortal.
Weaknesses. Language Barrier: To most people, Groot appears to only say "I am Groot." This made communication with most people all but completely futile. Maximus the Mad asserted that whenever Groot was saying his trademark "I am Groot!" he had actually been saying any number of things.
During a Vudu Viewing Party for Avengers: Infinity War, co-directors Anthony and Joe Russo revealed a key difference between Thor's hammer Mjolnir and his new ax Stormbreaker: the latter doesn't require worthiness. That's why Groot was able to lift the ax, not because he was worthy but because he didn't need to be.
At first, it just seems like Rocket makes up whatever Groot intends with his words, but the truth is that Rocket really understands Groot's strange language. Because Rocket has spent more time with Groot than anyone else, he understands all the nuances of the words and the way Groot says them.
Gamora (and the viewer) understands Groot verbally because he is finally understood on an emotional level. After getting to know him across three movies, the audience understands him - without the need for a violent mind-meld.
