-    This function writes "quote" to a file and destroys the root window.

     Args:
-      root: The root parameter is a reference to the main window or frame of the GUI application. It is
-    used to destroy the current window or frame when the quote button is pressed.
-      json_file_path: The file path to a JSON file.
-      material_type: The material_type parameter is not used in the given function. It is likely a
-    parameter that is used in other parts of the program.
+      root: The root parameter is typically a reference to the main window or frame of a GUI
+    application. It is used to access and modify the widgets and properties of the application.
+      json_file_path: The file path to a JSON file that contains data to be modified.
+      material_type: It is a variable that contains the selected material type. It is likely a tkinter
