I'm not sure how it makes sense to store *data* in your root and
*methods* in a subfolder.  Life is typically a whole lot easier if you
store methods higher up in the hierarchy and data at a lower level...
that way you can call a method on any subfolder below it thus:

server/path/to/subfolder/method

And the magic of Acquisition makes it *just work*.  See the Zope Book
for details:

So I'd encourage you to rethink your hierarchy as a first step.

But if you *really* want to do what you've described, it is possible. 
Several techniques of getting the root object are documented here:
