Hello, I'm an expert in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU) and I can help explain the unique bond between Rocket and Groot.

In the MCU, Groot is a member of the extraterrestrial species known as the Flora colossi. He communicates primarily through a limited vocabulary of statements, most notably the phrase, "I am Groot." What might seem like a simple phrase is actually quite complex and carries a wide range of meanings depending on the context and the inflections Groot uses.

Rocket, a genetically and cybernetically enhanced raccoon, has a unique ability to understand and interpret Groot's language. This is not because Rocket is the only one who can understand Groot, but rather he has spent a significant amount of time with Groot, which has allowed him to become proficient in understanding the nuances of Groot's speech.

The phrase "I am Groot" can be seen as a form of code or a cipher that Rocket has cracked over time. Their close relationship and shared experiences have led to Rocket being able to discern the different meanings behind the same phrase, much like how humans can understand the same word used in different ways or tones.
