You will find that it is good practice not to use upper case
characters as the first character in your variable names. This
ensures there will not be conflicts with built in symbols since
Mathematica always uses an upper case character for the first
character of symbol names.

Did you mean x^2+Sqrt[x y] here?
>How should I use computed x and y to define the new variable Z?
z = x^2+Sqrt[x y]/.root
will do what you want.
