Recently the icon for root folder was updated, but mine remained the same. KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.90 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54 Qt Version: 5.12 See screenshot: https://imgur.com/a/SCgLIJA
Also when you look at the screenshot, some words are translated and some are not (run with 'LANG=C'), why?

Does the problem go away if you delete the icon cache with rm ~/.cache/icon-cache.kcache?
I'm running the same setup, but I'm not seeing this issue. It might be a configuration issue (probably what Nate Graham suggested).

It you had a Root entry in your .local/share/user-places.xbel before the icon was updated, then the icon will not change in your local file (which overrides the upstream default).

So can I just delete the lines related to the root entry form the file?

It looks like I can't, but deleting the file gives me the new icons in Places. So this means that the new icons would only appear for people who did clean install after the change? Shouldn't they have been changed for everyone on their own?

Ah, that's right. I forgot that we actually changed it to use a different icon rather than just updating the existing icon. So clearing the icon cache wouldn't have any effect in this case There may be some value to figuring out how to change default places panel icons that haven't been explicitly overridden, but there's also an argument for not changing things out from under users. Might want to err on the side of not changing the icons of people's places panel items.
