This should say "the body element" instead.
Root WAI-ARIA node
the <body> or <frameset> in HTML, or the document element in all
other languages.

This does not appear to be correct, though, as AT-significant elements
may appear in the <head>. For example, <title> may participate (if
made visible and given role=heading), and <link> elements similarly
have a role=link automatically.
I think making elements in <head> visible and give them specific roles is
not something authors would do, nor do I see any use case for doing so.
However, making the ARIA root always be the document element seems simpler
to implement and specify, so maybe the ARIA spec could be changed here?
