Root Burn or root rot?

Hello,

I bought a Phalaenopsis orchid just a week ago and I have noticed that the tip of exposed roots are turning black. I have been using tap water rather than distilled and I have not fertilized it yet.

I have watered it twice so far, and only when the barks were dry with no condensation in the plastic pot.

Is this root rot or root burn? And what should I do about it?
