Resolving is a GraphQL context to retrieve data; see also the docs for the underlying library: http://webonyx.github.io/graphql-php/data-fetching/

You're question is a bit light on the surrounding context, but I'll give it a shot:

• $root refers to the "parent" type; it's empty if there's none. For example you query { user { orders { … you can access user from your orders resolve()
• $args are the arguments passed to the node, e.g. user(arg1: value1)
• $fields is ... I don't know where you got this from exactly, it's supposed to be the $context. The default Folklore context is the authenticated user but you can override it to be anything
• $info is directly from http://webonyx.github.io/ to access the current node (AST?) tree to extract (look ahead) further information

I rarely do need $root, $args is a no-brainer, $context is very important (authentication) and for complex optimizations I need to access $info (via \GraphQL\Type\Definition\ResolveInfo::getFieldSelection)

If you're new to the whole GraphQL world I recommend getting acquainted with the architecture in general => http://facebook.github.io/graphql/
