Well, and of course, it is trying to anchor itself to the new media/basket. Although orchid roots are photosynthetic, I imagine that the relative level of light gathering from the roots is nothing compared to leaves and ramicauls. More likely, I think, is that they plant is responding to root disturbance by initiating new root formation.
