We call ours the "hub" account, since we picture the relationships between our accounts as a hub-and-spoke model.

"Root account" is also a bit misleading, because the root user is the initial non-IAM login associated with the account (http://docs.aws.amazon.com/IAM/latest/UserGuide/id_root-user...).
