Just so there isn't any confusion. What is meant by "full functionality" is the nook color is an ereader first and a tablet second. IOW's it's UI and functionality put the ereading experience ahead of everything else. but it also comes with some limited tablet like functionality. That is email, web browsing, a nook app market, calender. The apps in the nook market range from games like Angry Birds, reading enhancement apps, to American Airlines, Pulse, Calender so on and so on. but it does not have access to the full Android Market.
Now what people mean by rooting is, they are opening up the nook color to become a full feldge Android tablet with full access to the Android Market and all it's extra goodies. You can also change the user interface to have it more of a tablet User Interface etc.
the process is suppose to be fairly easy and painless and now if you don't want to even try to play around you can actually purchas a pre load SD card which when thrown into your nook color does the job
