That's a good (and encouraging) hypothesis. However, I don't think the roots are the best level to argue this case. There's a lot going on in the roots of the plants specifically, including many things that cannot be attributed to a misunderstanding of a physical description of the plant. How do you get two bulb-faces on horizontal bars in there? Two mammals conjoined at the head, with intertwining genitals? I'd rather suspect that this is a case of conscious creativity. Of course, this could still be based on a written description, and I agree this may be a major avenue of attack.
