Question If I bought an unlocked phone from amazon should I root first?

I recently purchased this samsung galaxy A53 5g cell phone from amazon. It comes unlocked. So when it says 'unlocked' does this mean my bootloader is unlocked and ready to be rooted? Should I root my phone before I transfer my mint mobile service to the phone?

unlock mean it can use with any mobile service provider

Okay, so does it matter if I try and root my phone before adding my sim card and establishing my mobile carrier on the phone? Or should I root after? Or does it not matter
