Description
In the Planteome project, we have found an issue since the NCBI top level term is called "root" and it conflicts with our PO term root (PO:0009005) in Protege, and looks weird on the AmiGO browser, .
Suggest that we need to add a modification of the NCBI top level term, which in NCBI is called "root" to be 'NCBI root'.
I have contacted them and asked them to change it at their end, but they won't as we are the only ones who it is an issue for, apparently.

Research direction
No file or test is named; start by locating the build entry point and the NCBI top-level term labeled "root". Check how the generated taxonomy is consumed in Protege and AmiGO, and consider the work done when that term is labeled "NCBI root" without changing the project’s PO root term.
