How to fix the fsroot errors issue in Catalina on MacBook ?
If you run First Aid a second time, do the same errors appear? It looks to me like a software problem corrupting the filesystem. My suggestion is to backup your data, ASAP. Then follow these steps:
Install El Capitan or Later from Scratch
If possible, back up your files.
Addendum:

Use First Aid to repair. If that failed, then reformat the drive and reinstall macOS.

Macbook (Retina, 12 inch, early 2015) running Catalina Version 10.15.6
Mac was showing a message stating that my harddisk was running out of space.
Then after doing some basic checking saw that Only 1.37 GB space was available.
Deleted a few files but the space didnot free up.
Used Disk utilitiy and here are the results ... PLEASE HELP SORT OUT THE ISSUE.
Thanks.
