Hi all,
Noob here asking for thoughts on root health.
I think I have a general sense of what to expect from healthy and unhealthy roots, but I'm not sure if the roots on my current plant in DWC is doing okay.

No slime on roots, and water smells like it usually does when i mix fresh nutes. Plant above is doing fine - green leaves, no drooping, no yellowing or burnt tips.
I'm concerned with the middle portion of the roots; they're browner than the roots above and below them and are clumping/twisting together.
Also, this brown portion isn't completely out of the water - it's right at the surface of the water and a little above.
Appreciate any and all thoughts. Since I'm not sure if there's even a problem, I don't know how to proceed.
Thanks!
