A Deep Subject
Hi,
The thing I just realized is that the plant in the photo is buried too deep.That may (I really do not know) be the reason for all the roots heading up.
Perhaps a photos of your swords would help, but planting too deep is pretty common in gardening in general.

The Bee Gees, wow. A little before my time but still an interesting video. Below are some pics of my stalky swords. Any suggestions for how far up I should pull them and the crypts?

Display the Crown, Said the Queen
Hi,
Before your time…
Based on the photographs all of the plants are too deep.
The “crown,” the point where all of the stalks come together should be above the substrate.
It appears you ought to be able to uncover the crown by gently removing the gravel.

I too have a lot of these "external roots". I simply trim them. The Crypto Wendtii has been in my tank for a very long time and doing great, so not really something to worry about.
