They seem fine to me. Normal roots are usually brown

Any idea how can I make the plant healthy? It's a Poinsettia

Some people have already commented on your post, people more experienced than I am. Listen to them please because I don’t know anything 😭

I think they are are perennials I believe. I think once it dies they don’t come back. I’m not 100% because I haven’t had one in a really long time.

Looks normal to me. As long as they’re not squishy or black.
