We don't know what the roots usually look like. I didn't realise they had them like that

Neither did I Hywel it went deeper than this but I snap it off by mistake. I gave it a good soak but its wilted badly in its new home.

It probably would if some of that root snapped off. I should think it will recover though, in time, after it grows more roots ...

I agree...perhaps remove most of the top growth to avoid moisture loss...:>)

Should be okay Shirley after a few days, its amazing what deep roots they have, I agree with Motinot removing a little of the top growth will help, good luck;0)0
