Yes, native ES modules in Node.js 16 can allow importing from the root directory using the import statement. However, it requires configuring the package.json file to specify the root directory as a module path. This can be done by setting the type field in package.json to "module" and adding a "exports" field that maps the root directory to the default export of index.js. Once configured, the root directory can be imported as a module using the following syntax:

import module from '/'

Note that importing from the root directory will only work with native ES modules, and not with CommonJS modules.
