'A figure of zero indicates that we don't have data for this name (usually because it's quite uncommon and our stats don't go down that far). It doesn't mean that there's no-one with that name at all!
For less common surnames, the figures get progressively less reliable the fewer holders of that name there are. This data is aggregated from several public lists, and some stats are interpolated from known values. The margin of error is well over 100% at the rarest end of the table!
For less common surnames, the frequency and "per million" values may be 0 even though there are people with that name. That's because they represent less than one in a million of the population, which ends up as 0 after rounding.
It's possible for a surname to gain in rank and/or total while being less common per million people (or vice versa) as there are now more surnames in the USA as a result of immigration. In mathematical terms, the tail has got longer, with a far larger number of less common surnames.
Figures for top states show firstly the states where most people called GROOT live. This obviously tends to be biased towards the most populous states. The second set of figures show where people called GROOT represent the biggest proportion of the population. So, in this case, there are more people called GROOT in California than any other state, but you are more likely to find a GROOT by picking someone at random in Michigan than anywhere else.

GROOT. Originally De Groot, (that is the great or big) from Holland. The real surname of the illustrious Grotius. The connection between the Dutch and English Groots is sufficiently shewn in one of Dr. Johnson's letters to his friend. Dr. Vyse, of Lambeth. " I doubt not but you will readily forgive me for taking the liberty of request'm<y your assistance in recommending an old frimd to his Grace the Archbishop, as Governor of the Charter-House. His name is De Groot ; he was born in Gloucester ; I have known him many years. He has all the common claims to charity, being old, poor, and infirm in a great degree. He has likewise another claim, to which no scholar can refuse attention ; he is by several descents the nephew of Hugo Grotius— of him from whom perhaps every man of learning has learnt something. Let it not be said m any lettered country that a nephev of Grotius asked a charity and was refused. I am, reverend sir, your most humble servant, S-Ui. JOHKSON. July 9, 1777."
