get store category and check with if condition that is category is more then is 0 or not.
Then use foreach loop print root category name.
Here is code......
<?php $gethelper = Mage::helper('catalog/category');
  $rootcate = $gethelper->getStoreCategories();
      if (count($rootcate) > 0)
    {
     foreach($rootcate as $category)
     { 
      echo $category->getName();
     
     }
    }
?>
