Well I did not think archos did that on other devices after the Gen8 ones but to me it would seem like yours is booting from a squashfs image which means you can't permanently modify the system/root partitions so to actually achieve permanent root I think you might need a kernel that mounts a unionfs partition and uses that to store system modifications.
I can't really give you more help than the information above with the limited information you gave us, perhaps you could list the device's full name, generation (if it has one), device ID, android version, CPU/SOC info, and some pictures of the bootloader/recovery and system structure.

What you should do is search for a custom kernel, that's what, or give more info about the tab (the info I listed in my last post) and I might be able to help.

Yes it does, try this first:
http://www.iroot.com/
and if that does not work try:
https://www.kingoapp.com/
Try both the APK and PC versions and this will install a Chinese root manager and some other Chinese apps, just use root uninstaller after installing SuperSU to remove all the Chinese bloatware.

I'm already putting new software on two androids but it certainly is not the same?!

Well I will guess you already replaced the chinese root manager with SuperSU and also used root uninstaller (from play store) to remove all the chinese apps, if not that's what you should do.
But really I can't answer what you want to do, you can do many things with root (but don't expect any custom ROM's or kernels for that thing as there are no sources, you'll just have to stick with the android version and ROM that is already on it).
Some things you can do though are: remove all the "kids" things from it and put apex or nova launcher on it, install xposed framework, perhaps install the CWM recovery for the version of RK chip in it to make backups before erasing any system files or just use flashfire.
