Is there any way to know a root parent using work item view in RTC?

I know you can see the hierarchy using a plan view, but you can not export data from a plan view, right? I would like to know the way to know a root parent using work item view or any other alternatives, if any.

This table shows how parts of Microsoft Project plans map to parts of RTC plans during export.

Thank you for your response. Can you export any additional attributes like using this functionality, or customizing this functionality itself? For example, we add "actual start date" attribute on a TASK.

Currently the MSP XML export only supports the ones listed. Also this feature does not allow customization to add more attributes to be exported.

A work item appears on a plan because its Filed Against and Planned For attributes match the Team Area and Iteration configuration for the plan. Using your example, the "root" work item for the tree is Task-10.
You can export from a Plan (in an XML format compatible with Microsoft Project), though you can't do a normal work item export from a plan (the way you can with a query). But if you want to export all of the items that would appear on a plan, you can query on the correct Filed Against and Planned For attributes to get them all.
