# Root Child
Root Child is a React component which will render its children as descendants
of the root `` element. This is handy in cases where you want to fix
an element to the bounds of the page, without worrying that an ancestor
positioning may impact the child's style.
## Usage
```jsx
import { RootChild } from '@automattic/components';
export default function MyComponent() {
return (
This text will be a child of MyComponent
This text will be a child of the root element, not of MyComponent
);
}
```
## Notes
The `` children are wrapped in a single `` element, so they are not truly
direct descendants of the `` element.
