I will be the naive one here. What does the ginger root do?

It originated (AFAIK) in Victorian England. Originally used on horses to cause them to keep their tails up, the kinky Brits found that if you insert a ginger root in someone's bottom it causes a more intense burning sensation if they squeeze their butt cheeks to protect their bottom from a spanking. So a spankee had the choice of relaxing their bottom to take their spanking, or squeezing their bottom and having that burning sensation in their rectum. It's almost a win-win situation! Well, not for he/she who is receiving the spanking!!
If you want to try it out on your own, buy some ginger root at the store and carve a small plug (keeping a nice handle on it so it doesn't get sucked up in your bottom), then gently insert into your butt. Don't use any lube but water, as lubricants will affect the sensation. Give it a few minutes and then squeeze your bottom and see how it feels to you.
And, as I said before, it works equally well on boys AND girls. Gotta make sure there is equality in this world, eh?
