Meaning of the Rooted Sutta From the Rooted Sutta (AN 10.58) we have the following paragraph translated by Bhikkhu Sujato.

What does it mean? What are "things" or "phenomena" in this context? Please explain the whole paragraph.


  ‘Reverends, all things are rooted in desire. Attention produces them.
  Contact is their origin. Feeling is their meeting place. Immersion is
  their chief. Mindfulness is their ruler. Wisdom is their overseer.
  Freedom is their core. They culminate in the deathless. And
  extinguishment is their final end.’
  
  ‘chandamūlakā, āvuso, sabbe dhammā, manasikārasambhavā sabbe dhammā,
  phassasamudayā sabbe dhammā, vedanāsamosaraṇā sabbe dhammā,
  samādhippamukhā sabbe dhammā, satādhipateyyā sabbe dhammā, paññuttarā
  sabbe dhammā, vimuttisārā sabbe dhammā, amatogadhā sabbe dhammā,
  nibbānapariyosānā sabbe dhammā’ti.


The same paragraph translated by Bhikkhu Bodhi here:


  “‘Friends, (1) all things are rooted in desire. (2) They come into
  being through attention. (3) They originate from contact. (4) They
  converge upon feeling. (5) They are headed by concentration. (6)
  Mindfulness exercises authority over them. (7) Wisdom is their
  supervisor. (8) Liberation is their core. (9) They culminate in the
  deathless. (10) Their consummation is nibbāna.’


The same paragraph translated by Thanissaro Bhikkhu here:


  All phenomena are rooted in desire.
  All phenomena come into play through attention.
  All phenomena have contact as their origination.
  All phenomena have feeling as their meeting place.
  All phenomena have concentration as their presiding state.
  All phenomena have mindfulness as their governing principle.
  All phenomena have discernment as their surpassing state.
  All phenomena have release as their heartwood.
  All phenomena gain their footing in the deathless.
  All phenomena have Unbinding as their final end.
This is what Sujato has to say;


  No, “gain a footing” is incorrect. Amatogadha is a common term,
  frequently used alongside amatapariyosāna and amataparāyana in the
  sense of ‘culminate, climax, finish’.
  
  The basic meaning of ogadha is to be grounded or gain a footing, but
  here it clearly has an idiomatic sense. I think the root of the
  metaphor may lie with a boat crossing a river: when it reaches the far
  shore (parāyana) it is beached or grounded. Perhaps we could translate
  something like “gains a safe harbor in the deathless”.


Which is imho not much of substantiation.

As for your inquiry it is somewhat noteworthy that 8 out of 10 points from 10.58 appear in AN 8.83 (which covers the first eight of the ten questions), commentary to the Sutta has it that "all phenomena" (sabbe dhamma) there means the five aggregates. This is important because it comes into play when people express their interpretations where some might say that sabbe dhamma refers to only "wholesome qualities" for example, this has happened.

This is not the only place where this disagreement between translators plays out, there is also AN7.48 wherein the amatogadhā amatapariyosānā occurs as well as sn48.44. It is the same disagreement however if one looks at Bodhi's translations one will see that he has previously translated amatogadha as footing for sn48.44.
