Asus
The root 5 suspended bar chord is based upon the open A suspended (Asus) chord.
The open shape is usually played using four fingers but when it is used to form a bar chord the third finger bars across the three notes on the second fret. When playing the root 5 suspended chord shape many guitarists allow the first string to be deadened, this is acceptable.
