The headroom is defined by the range of voltages the ADC supports, usually set by the reference voltage provided to the ADC, within limits dependent on its design. The bit depth defines how many steps that input range is divided into, i.e. the resolution within that range.

Got it. Apologies for the misusages. I know enough about this stuff to be dangerous and maybe a bit more but it isn't my expertise.
