root resource

Hi!

I read that "The parent of a resource is the resource that is 
responsible for its loading in memory. All resources should 
have a parent, except for the server's root resource (whose 
parent is null)."
(http://www.w3.org/Jigsaw/User/Reference/w3c.jigsaw.resources.HTTPResource.html#parent)

So, I'd like to know how the root resource is loaded in memory.
Another question: why the parent attribute is defined in
the HTTPResource class and not in the Resource class?

Thanks in advance,
Julianne.
