The Root chord is a Major chord and is made by "stacking"
the 1st-3rd-5th notes of the Key

If Key = E » | E | - | - | - | G♯ | - | - | B | - | - | - | - | E |
I (First) 1-3-5 = I-iii-V = E-G♯-B
Shown above are the notes of the Root chord E barred at Root fret 0/12 / 12/24
CAGED: within the Ionian mode the Root chord takes the E-shape

The IV (Fourth) chord and V (Fifth) chord are also Major chords

IV (Fourth) 4-6-1 = IV-vi-I = A-C♯-E
V (Fifth) 5-7-2 = V-vii-ii = B-D♯-F♯
Shown above are the notes of the IV-chord A and V-chord B
Within the Ionian mode the IV -chord takes the A-shape
and the V -chord takes the D-shape
