`crontab -e` edits the users crontab. Where you logged in as root user when executing `crontab -e`? – Henrik Pingel Oct 13 '20 at 11:52

Creating directory under /root requires roo privileges. You need to either (use sudo or confirm you are logged in as root.
$ sudo crontab -e
or
# crontab -e
The command prompt of root is usually indicated by #. You can also check using whoami.
