What's the variable for a site's root URL?

This is no doubt quite a silly question, but I haven't been able to find an answer to it.

I'm making a module, and I need the root URL of the Joomla installation. How can get this? I assume it's a variable within a class, but have no idea what it's called.

If using 1.5, try JURI::base().
