Do all namespaces have to live in the 'DFSRoots' folder?

Running through DFSN PS commands for the 70-411...

My question is, do all DFS namespaces have to have their root shared folder in the 'DFSRoots' folder? Working through the 70-411 Exam Ref handbook, and entering..

New-DfsnRoot -TargetPath \\trey-dc-02\Public `
-Path \\TreyResearch\Public `
-Type DomainV2 `
-Description "Central source for Publicly visible files"

...would create a namespace root of 'TreyResearch\Public', pointing to the pre-created/shared folder of 'Public'.

Now, I tried this myself - I created a shared folder on the C: drive, and pointed my namespace to this folder. 

If I were to create the namespace using the DFS GUI, it would create the shared folder in the 'DFSRoots' folder.

Does it hurt to have the shared folder outside of here, and what are the implications?

Many thanks.
