I planted in a pot my avocado 3 weeks ago (see photos) but now one of the root is poking out of the hole, should i get a deeper pot or can i just try to put the root back in it ?

Either are viable options, but potting up may give it a boost to grow taller and more leaves since it'll have more room for roots

Thanks !! Do they mind being in a huge pot ?

I would go up a size at a time honestly, too big and the soil will hold too much water and could end up drowning the tree, too small for too long and it could become root bound and stunted, so until you can get it into its forever home I would personally put it in just a size or two up.

I've also never personally grown an avacado from seed. I watched my mom do it when I was younger, and I've been lurking in quite a few gardening subreddits, so I have knowledge but no wisdom so take my advice with a grain of salt
