Question about rockwool in a hydro system

Sorry if this is already posted somewhere but I have a hard time navigating the site still

I have a hydro setup using the aero jet sprayer style. I started the germination in rockwool. When they were big enough I put them into clay pellets, still keeping them in the rockwool and started on my way with my hydro system.
I was thinking about it, I really dont want to get root rot. It has been 2 weeks and the babies look great, big and beautiful and green.

question:
Should I transfer them out of the rock wool to put them into the clay pellets by themselves or should I leave the rock wool through out the entire plants life. Two are going to be mothers and the others are going to be "consumed".

(I'm a newbie, please use elementary words so that I can be on the same page)

Thanks for your help

How would you take your plants out of the rockwool? Leave them in there.

ya taking them out would kill them. Where did you hear rockwool = rot? also make sure there is enough clay in between the mist and the rockwool. it is a wicking type of medium. Just like if you grab a paper towel, put a corner of the towel in water. it will suck up the water till its saturated. rockwool will do the same.

Leave them in there , hard to get out anyway ,
After about a month the rockwool will be broken apart and won't matter either way ,
