This is not an account definition for the “root” user. The manual says
that the “root” user account is special:
-- Scheme Variable: %base-user-accounts
This is the list of basic system accounts that programs may expect
to find on a GNU/Linux system, such as the “nobody” account.
Note that the “root” account is not included here. It is a
special-case and is automatically added whether or not it is
specified.
I suppose you can just use chsh to change the root user’s default shell.
