if you root you won't lose them

if you unlock your bootloader you will and they'll be gone forever

something that you might want to read

From sony mobile developers

http://unlockbootloader.sonymobile.com/instructions

Warning! If you perform this step, you will unlock the boot loader. This may void your warranty and/or any warranty from your operator. If you still want to unlock the boot loader of your phone, enter fastboot.exe -i 0x0fce oem unlock 0xKEY, where KEY is the unlock boot loader key you got in the beginning of this instruction. The boot loader should now be successfully unlocked.

in other words it "could" void your warranty

you can unroot w/ SUS or PCC. now regarding the warranty its a tricky question

each country has it's own rules, but if you read above, this is my take on this and I'm not saying this is what it is or legal advise at all, but my take on the links above is that you can root w/o voiding your warranty, NOW once you root and you do something that harm the phone then your warranty it's voided.

yeah, you don't really have to unlock your bootloader, rooting it's enough for the most part
