There is no "rooting" an Ubuntu phone in the same way you do on Android. You already have root. You can install the terminal app and can use sudo to run things as root if necessary.

However, you should not really mess about with the root filesystem partition being read-only. If you need to install CLI tools, it's best done inside an existing Libertine container, or by creating a chroot, as per the instructions in Recommended way to install regular(cli) .deb packages on Ubuntu phone?
