Hey! I was repotting my rattlesnake plant earlier and noticed these balls in the roots? Any idea of what these are? They seem to be attached but I’ve never seen anything like this on any of my other plants!

They are called rhizomes and it’s where the plants stores water. They will rot if you overwater, so only water when the soil is completely dry.
