Any root, in time, exposed to light. Will, change to a root not effectively working.
Can you? Yes. It would behove you to transfer to soil as soon as you actually "see" a root.
As far as rooting in a clear container. I simply root some times by simply throwing cuttings into a cup of water... They root, even fussy cloning plants will. If done right.. They take quite awhile to establish in soil in solo cups once transplanted to them...
You still get a healthier clone by dark rooting methods. Rooting in a media, in a clear cup. Is dark rooting. Just remember to up pot when you see roots.
