Interesting!

I've seen really thin roots do that, but not just from the cores.


Have you ever seen a root with no velamen at the top where it starts but
if you follow it down there is velamen on the younger part with an
actively growing tip? I have. I always figure the root doesn't have a
long future and I cut it off unless unless the plant really needs the root.
I cut off any root that has no velamen at all, assuming it is dead. Only
exception would be for support on a plant that is nearly rootless other
wise.
