Corresponding SPListItem object

Note, that folder returned by SPList.RootFolder does not have corresponding SPListItem object.

So, SPListObject.RootFolder.Item will return null.

SPList.RootFolder = internal name of list

Note that you can use the rootfolder to get the internal name of the list, something like this extensionmethod:

public static SPList GetListByInternalName(this SPWeb web, string listInternalName)
{

        var list = (from SPList l in web.Lists
                        where l.RootFolder.Name.Equals(listInternalName, StringComparison.InvariantCulture)
                        select l).FirstOrDefault();
        if (list == null)
        {
            throw new FileNotFoundException(string.Format(
                    "SPList '{0}' not found on web '{1}'", listInternalName, web.Url));
        }
        return list;
}

More than RootFolder
RootFolder has much more information than one might think. For example, see how to modify the list rss settings via RootFolder:
