As far as RViz has a world frame, it's probably at 0, 0, 0. That would be in the centre of the grid you see rendered in your screenshot.

the 'root' of your transform tree will be whatever you make it. It will depend on the transform broadcasters that you have running. There is no 'always present' frame called world

If you're using TF (and I believe you are), it would probably be more informative to add a TF display to your configuration. That would immediately show you how things (ie: frames) are related.
