This happens in "tough" soil. If your soil is rocky or clay heavy, the roots will grow into the soft areas of the soil, around the rocks and lumps of clay. This results in some pretty twisted and unusual looking roots. Removing rocks and adding additional compost or peat will help to soften the soil and produce a more uniform shaped roots.
