They actually reference the root certificate in their removal instructions:
"Uninstalling Superfish Visual Discovery
Go to Control Panel > Uninstall a Program
Select Visual Discovery > Uninstall
Superfish will be removed from Program Files and Program Data directories, files in user directory will stay intact for the privacy reason. Registry entry and root certificate will remain as well. The Superfish service will stop working as soon as it is uninstalled via above process, and following reboot."
