If it doesn't affect usage, don't worry! If it does, you'll have to re-flash the device to restore it!
If you reboot, it will only show the green robot. It's better if you haven't rebooted, because you can install the flashing tool on your computer to connect your phone and flash it. If it only shows the little robot, it's also recommended to use the flashing tool, but I prefer that you take it to the place where you bought the phone and let them help you flash it at the factory.
I used to be like you. After rooting, I accidentally deleted system files and eventually turned my phone into a brick. Now that I've bought a new Android phone, even though some Android games require Google (and logging into Google requires rooting the phone and installing the Google installer), I won't root my phone just to play these games anymore because it's very unsafe. Even if you don't accidentally delete files, some apps with a feature to clean junk files can still mistakenly delete system files.
Rooting the phone is equivalent to unlocking the security lock; the phone no longer protects the system. This time is a lesson, and of course, I hope your phone can be fixed, so you don't end up like me.
My phone has no data, otherwise I would have flashed it already. I handle after-sales service, you see if your model has data, then flashing it would be fine.
