It is and it is also the root. It may not be the organisation root,
but it is the domain root.
You will see a lot of companies that have something.uk.com. This is
because someone registered uk.com and now sells subdomains to other
companies. you have no way of knowing how many domain elements you
need to get to the organisation root.
