VIDEO – Create Modern Communication for Root Site in Tenant
SharePoint Admin Center allows for creating the new Modern Communication site but only with a managed path prefix (/sites/ or /teams). However, there is a workaround by using the SharePoint Classic Admin Center to modify HTML <SELECT> control and add a new choice for “SITEPAGEPUBLISHING#0” web template. See video for full demo. Cheers!
