It's not "unrooting" it's just preventing your OS from being replaced. It's an easy change for anyone with physical access to the device who can get past the lock screen, but can't be done by accident. So you won't be accidentally installing malicious software that will reinstall your OS, for example.
The unlock/lock and install can be done through a website, but it requires your phone to be plugged in to a computer, and you can enable/disable unlocking through the developer menu in the phone's settings.
