Hi all, I’m a beginner!! Does any of you know what shall I do with the two roots (if that’s what they’re called) that are sticking out on left and right? Thanks for your help ^^

Aerial roots I think

No touch.  
Leave be.

Silver means water. You can mist them.  
Missorchidgirl on YouTube tells you everything you need to know about them and caring for them.

The roots sticking out is normal, it’s what orchids do so let them do their thing. Just make sure your orchid gets plenty of misting, and I would also recommend getting a pot with multiple holes for the roots to stick out. There are actually specific pots for orchids.
