What is the difference between a `TypeError` related to a missing root object and a `ReferenceError`?

A `TypeError` often occurs when an operation is performed on a value of an unexpected type. 'The root object missing or invalid' typically results in a `TypeError` when you try to access a property or call a method on `null` or `undefined`, as the JavaScript engine expects an object for these operations. A `ReferenceError` typically happens when you try to use a variable that hasn't been declared or is out of scope.
