If there are spaces in the customer's tenant name, each space must be replaced with %20. This is a example of URL Encoding.  
URL Encoding replaces certain characters – mostly spaces and other special characters – with a % followed by a 2 digit number.

  • AB&C Corp is encoded as AB&C%20Corp

  • Benchmark Technology Group is encoded as benchmark%20technology%20group


For more see URL Encoding

In OData, the service root is essentially the base URL or entry point of the OData URL.
The service root URL is the starting point for constructing API requests to OData.
