How can i use an image as a background in Tkinter?

Question

So I want to use an image as my background in Tkinter kind of like how windows has background images in desktop. This is my code but it doesn't seem to work:

root = tk.Tk()
root.attributes("-fullscreen", True)
background_image=tk.PhotoImage("image")

The code runs but it shows up as a white background.

It is pretty simple: Here is how to do it:

from tkinter import *
root = Tk()
root.geometry("400x400")
bg = PhotoImage(file = "image.png")
label1 = Label(root, image = bg)
label1.place(x = 0, y = 0)
root.mainloop()

Just make sure to edit this part (file = "image.png") and use the pathname to your image. Preferably save it on the same folder as your program is stored, though it is not required.
