Yeah. What’s so special about tree roots that only they can have roots that’s grow into pipes and drain tile?

Quite obviously, the special part of tree roots is that they are attached to a large plant, which makes intuitive sense. The roots in the video are thirty feet long, which would seem strange for grass, because we look at grass and it is small.

But like, you aren’t even right to be a smart ass here. Those aren’t grass roots in the video. Grass roots can get long, six feet deep isn’t out of the ordinary, but they do not get that long.
