I’m pretty sure it isn’t root rot, from what I’ve heard from others root rot is when roots are black or dark brown (and mushy I think?). You can test it by lightly tugging on the roots and if they break off it’s likely they have root rot. But if they are dry and regular color, it might be from under watering? Sorry, I’m new so I don’t know much, hope this helps though.

You are correct. Plus, the roots smell like rotten vegetation.

Doesn’t look like root rot to me, it’s usually very mushy and smells very yucky. I think you could tell if it was root rot because of the potent smell
