About

"I Am Groot" is a memorable quote oft-repeated by Groot, a sentient alien character embodied in the shape of a tree and member of Marvel's superhero team Guardians of the Galaxy. Due to its frequent appearance in the 2014 live-action film adaptation of the comic book series, the self-referential quote quickly gained recognition among the fans of the film, in a similar vein to the creation of fan art surrounding the phrase Hodor, which is the only phrase uttered by the eponymous character in HBO's medieval fantasy TV series Game of Thrones.

Origin

Guardians of the Galaxy was released on August 1st, 2014. Groot was introduced fairly early on in the film, and is described by an official who captures him as:

"Rocket's personal houseplant slash muscle."
