That is the top of roots in the pic. Maybe it was root bound?

I seriously do not see the top of any roots in your photo.

This is a root flare- see at the base of the tree where it turns into roots?
This needs to be above ground level.
Look at your photo again- you just have a straight trunk going right into the soil.
