    The rootsite collection is always present in a SPO tenant so I don't think you want be able to create it...while it's true you can delete the default rootsite collection, I don't recommend you to do it since you will be adding unexpected side effects in the SPO tenants....out of curiosity: why do you need to create a root site collection in your tenant?
