I too have always noticed that the bottom of pots are filled with roots first.

So in regards to perched water tables and layered soils, is there a
possibility that layered soils will create a moist layer in the middle
of the pot, and thus an artificial "bottom of the pot" thereby filling
that layer with roots first.
thanks,
