Groot

Groot is a fictional character from Marvel Comics, a tree-like alien who speaks only the phrase "I am Groot"—though other characters understand varied meanings from his inflection and context.

The character gained widespread popularity through the *Guardians of the Galaxy* films: We are Groot.

The name sometimes appears as shorthand for limited but expressive communication.
