I talked with our Acquisition's Librarian. She thought that both 'root' and 'source' are programmer's terms. 'Source' is better than 'root.' She preferred 'Main' or 'Material's Budget.'
I agree that 'root' and 'source', both of which refer to the tree structure of the budgets, could be viewed as programmers' terms, but 'Materials Budget' seems a little too book-centric - i.e., a source budget could in fact be a budget for materials, but a top-level budget could also be for electronic databases licensing. That said, either "Source Budget" or "Main Budget" works for me, though the latter only as long as there's no confusion caused by the fact that you could have multiple "main" budgets.
