Why do so many languages in europe have similar roots?

Because they just do

Almost all of the languages in the world come originally from either Greek, Latin or Aramaic as these are some of the oldest languages in the world, this is why they all have similar roots.

Explanation:

Maximum languages of Europe refer to the Indo-European language class. Out of a whole population of 740 million (as of 2010), some 94% are local speakers of an Indo-European language, within Indo-European, the three largest phyla are Slavic, Germanic, and Romance, with more than 200 million orators each, between them, considering for close to 90% of Europeans. Miniature phyla of Indo-European located in Europe include Hellenic.

Because they all started off in one place (many scientists believe that Europeans began in Africa). Eventually, over time they all branched out and discovered new places, along the way their languages got distorted but can mostly be traced back to the same place.

Europe's diversity is really low.Therefor if they didnt have so many languages then they wouldn't all understand many people. their population is over 700 they all cant talk the same language so they made it all similar

It was the beginning of man venturing across lands spreading their beliefs and languages. I think.

Most European languages are at least partially derived from the same languages, such as Greek or Latin, which have been around for a longer period of time.

Mostly the come from Greek Latin a little Asian and now we have English then everything went from there that's why some words in Greek match say a polish word or English matches a German word it's almost all the same
