I don't like this. For me "root mount" is initial root mount, i. e. initramfs.
It is not what you mean here.

I agree.

What you mean by "filesystem root" here? "Thing, which is changed by chroot(2)", right?
Then, please, write "root directory" (or "root"), this is standard term for that thing.
Or you can just write "/".
