Well, yes, perhaps a bit too naive. Bear in mind that 1) a 3D plot needs
Plot3D; 2) The result of FindRoot is in the form of a rule wherefrom you
have to extract the actual value you need. Try this:

In[1]:=
sol[a_, b_] := FindRoot[a*Tanh[b*x] == x,
   {x, {0.01, 0.1}}]

In[2]:=
Plot3D[sol[a, b][[1,2]], {a, 1, 2}, {b, 1, 2}];
