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 ...
Gunn let viewers experience what it was like for the sentient tree's loved ones to hear Groot speak. It might not have seemed that way initially because it was so jarring to hear Groot clearly say, “I love you guys.”
Gunn said in a now-deleted tweet that Baby Groot "drops about 50 f-bombs in Guardians 2." They can't be heard since Groot only says, "I am Groot," which is how the director was able to get away with so many uses of the F-word without the movie being rated R.

What did Groot say to Rocket when he died?
As he fades away into dust, Groot says his whole “I am Groot” to Rocket Raccoon, but what he really means, according to Guardians of the Galaxy director James Gunn, is much sadder. The tree thinks the raccoon with the voice of Bradley Cooper doing an accent is his dad! Somehow this is actually pretty sad!
When the Gardener is defeated, he uses his powers to restore Groot to his full-grown self, and Groot is able to speak English - though he refers to himself in third person.
In the mainstream Marvel universe, Groot is part of the species dubbed 'Flora colossus,' with repetitive speech due to a stiff larynx that causes the tree-like beings to repeat the same phrases over and over.
We're meant to believe that Groot transcends the laws of nature by absorbing wood, acting as a monster with consciousness and generally behaving in manners that do not apply to trees as we know them. Yet Groot's weakness is actually termites.
Over the years, the relationship between Rocket and Groot was definitive as Rocket acted as a father figure to the kind Flora Colossus. The first Guardians of the Galaxy had also established that the two had been partners for some time and grew to care for each other as kindred spirits.
Up until now, we – and several non-Guardians characters – couldn't comprehend Groot's language because we didn't have too close of an attachment to him. By the end of the trilogy, after experiencing all that the cosmic team has been through, we can now understand him.
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.)
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.
Gunn referred to that version as the new Groot's "father," which explains why they don't look exactly the same, or act the same, since "Swoll Groot" has a "more outgoing personality." Groot's larger form in the credits scene is a result of him continuing to grow, though it's unclear if this is his final form or if he' ...
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.
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.
Groot's final words of "I love you, guys" in Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3 signify the strong bond between Groot and the Guardians, as well as the bond between the audience and the characters.
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.
He claims to hate hats because of situations where "one minute you think someone has a weird-shaped head, the next minute you realize part of that head is a hat." That one line itself is enough to give Baby Groot's other eccentricities a run for their money.
However, Red Skull saw his true intentions, informing Gamora that Thanos was, in fact, weeping for Gamora, as he truly loved her as a daughter, and was heartbroken that he had to sacrifice her to get the Soul Stone. Disbelieving, Gamora could not comprehend that Thanos ever showed genuine love for her.
