These events would be expected if you are using a standard primary zone with
dynamic updates allowed and clients are registering in DNS.

Is there a reason you think this is a problem?
As you can see, this is an informational event only.

According to what I was able to find in Technet, which wasn't much, I would
receive this entry in the DNS Event Log for the root server only. If I have
one server would I still receive this Information or is one server also
considered the Root server?

First domain in an AD Forest is the Root Domain
so in general one could say that the only DC is the
root server (most people don't speak that way but
I supposed it is true.)

In pure-DNS the "root server" is the one holding the "."
(dot) or root zone. (This idea is unrelated to AD or
the use of DNS to support AD.)

Oh, and if you have an AD domain you technically have
a "forest" as well.

I don't know what document on TechNet would say this. But, ANY DNS server
with a Standard zone will log these events when the zone is updated.
AD integrated zones don't log zone updates in the event log, I could show
you hundreds of these events on my DNS servers because I have lots of hosted
Standard zones that get daily and hourly updates.
You can ignore these unless you suspect some unauthorized machine or person
is making the updates. Since Standard zones have no security, this could be
a distinct possibility.

Kevin is correct of course, and also he implies but doesn't state outright:

You really should (almost) never be running "Dynamic Updates" against
a NON-AD Integrated DNS server since you cannot set "secure updates
only."

There are exceptions to the above but they are actually pretty hard to
justify and as long as you have AD there is practically zero reason to
forego AD Integration of DNS.
