That's good. I thought it was from an animal that fell in there.

When a root penetrates a water line, it grows like this. Imagine the roots in a hydroponically grown head of lettuce. They're all hairlike. Enough to take up the water and nutrients, but only strong enough to penetrate water. Unlike roots grown in soil, these are very numerous and very fragile (relatively speaking). Nature's smart.
