Because there can be certain issue after rooting it. So you must do that on your own risk.

Before rooting you need to backup your phone as this will wipe out everything. Backup your important contacts, phone data, email information and logs. Do not keep in the SD card. Just move it somewhere else. You can try using Titanium backup which is best recommended for backup purpose.
