Unfortunately, your photo did not come through. It will be hard to say without seeing the damage.

Usually, there should be some insect life present near roots. If there seem to be too many, or they appear to be maggots, or other nasty creatures, than the plant may be over watered.

I would make sure to treat the soil with a natural, or natural systemic insecticide. This will ensure that there is nothing harmful eating your roots.
