What do the roots look like if over waters

Look for other signs, check the soil, is it too dry or too compacted, has it become hydrophobic? Is it fully absorbing the water? Next I would look at the roots, are they mushy, do they fall off easily? If they do that means it has root rot which is often from overwatering. Other things to look at is if there are crispy brown bits on the leaves, if so that’s a sign of not enough water. Also doing some research into your plant’s care is helpful, google how much to allow it to dry out between watering. Maybe consider getting a moisture meter as well!
