People would notice if the root DNS servers went down or were hacked, and people would instantly create new backups of the root servers.

>The root zone file is a small (about 2MB) data set[37] whose publication is the primary purpose of root name servers. >The contents of the root zone file is a list of names and numeric IP addresses of the authoritative DNS servers for all top-level domains (TLDs) such as com, org, edu, and the country code top-level domains. As of July 2015, the root zone consisted of 1058 TLDs.
