Overview
Root weald is a simple cave type overgrown with root of various types and manifestations, some of which are hanging and others creeping and even rooted stone akin to rooted dirt. I will followingly describe each feature of it.
Suspended root
Suspended root is a root growing from the loft of caves in the biome. When broken it drops Eden roots: a stick like root item, which can be planted on cave roofs like saplings to suspended root and some sort of thin log type akin to stalagnate, fir, lotus and mushroom wood, which has a wood type simply know as root. Root wood is a dark brown colour somewhere between dark oak and spruce with the texture showing a highly pronounced fibrous quality.
Rooted stone
Rooted stone akin to rooted dirt is stone that is penetrated by roots. This generates in the biome and is renewable from growing suspended root under it akin how azalea makes rooted dirt. However, not all stone types will have a rooted variant as they are unable to be penetrated by roots.
Root pillar
Root pillar is a structure generating in caves in the biome that is akin to the pillars that connect the ceiling and floor of overworld caves. However, the pillars aren't simply just made of stone, but tangled roots, which is a block of twisting dark roots, which is in turn renewable itself from being crafted from Eden roots.
Root carpet
Root carpet is a rather flat block similar to other carpet types in Minecraft and particularly analogous to moss carpet with its moss block counterpart being tangled roots. Root carpet sometimes generates on the floor of caves in this biome.
Creeping root
Creeping root is an additional part to the root family, but acting like parignum and glow lichen and akin to those act as an extra texture layer to blocks. Creeping root would generate in the biome naturally, but much more frequently than its overworld counterpart.
Seeping roots
Seeping roots is a variant of tangled roots from which is leaking glowing sap akin to bees hives and nests. Seeping roots only generate in root pillars as a source of natural light and are thus unrenewable. Whether the sap should serve any function or what colour it should be, I shall make not comment and let your imagination decide.
