Solution

A cutted root never grow up. because, when you separated the root from a onion, nutrition supply will be stopped.
Further root cells cannot undergo photosynthesis, due to lack of chlorophyll.
Root was kept in the water, where root cells don't have capacity to absorb dissolved oxygen from water to undergo Light independent reaction.
Because of all these reasons in water cutted root cannot alive.
