Many phones can be rooted without wiping the data. But, not all. Programs like Kingoroot can often do it. They have to add/modify some files, so there is the risk of overwriting deleted data before it's recovered, but it does work.
Well, sure I oversimplified the situation. Actually, even the same Android models with different ROM images have different results. For example, many Chinese android phones have user data encrypted in their global ROMs, and unencrypted in their mainland ROMs. After rooting, the first ROMs make user data inaccessible, whereas the second ones can give you full access to the data. And this is only one problem.

Right. Because of all those problems.
