If you're doing a standard power chord, then yes. If you're doing an E or A chord where the root is open, then it's not touching the root. This is virtually impossible to explain any further if you don't know anything about music theory, which I can tell you probably don't (no offense intended).

the root note is the lowest note in the chord, so in an A chord the root is the open A string. chords are named after their root notes, it is just always the lowest note in the chord, no relation to fingers.
