Does this mean if i get a math question and it says find the "roots of a function" then i have to find the x-intercepts?

That's the definition of a root.  A root is a zero of the function, or the value of x if you set the function equal to zero.  Setting the function equal to zero and solving for x is the same as finding the x-intercepts.

In general, if the function (f) is formulated as y = f(x), yes,

the x-intercept(s) is (are) the root(s) of the function when y = 0.
