Why can’t the $rootScope be accessed in the template of a directive with isolate scope?

You can try this way out using $root.blah

Working Code

html

 <label ng-click="test($root.blah)">Click</label>

javascript

  angular.module('app', [])
    .controller('Ctrl', function Ctrl1($scope,  $rootScope) {
        $rootScope.blah="Hello";
        $scope.yah="World"
    })
    .directive('myTemplate', function() {
        return {
            restrict: 'E',
            templateUrl: 'my-template.html',
            scope: {},
            controller: ["$scope", "$rootScope", function($scope, $rootScope) {
                console.log($rootScope.blah);
                console.log($scope.yah);

                $scope.test = function(arg) {
                    console.log(arg);
                }
            }]
        };
    });
