Hello,If every non-root bridge elects one root port to get to the
root-bridge, then why do we still need a designated switch/port per
segment? Do these two have different functions altogether?Thank you.

I did a few searches on cisco.com and google and they appear to be different

The designated port is not just the root ports.
1. Each root port is a designated port
2. Each designated port is not necessarily the root port.
There are other ports as designated, on the other side of the root bridge
to forward BPDUs downstream.
