Orchid with white roots?

[orchidmania123]

Hello.

I received miltoniopsis with very thin dried out roots with no active tips. It's literally just white and seems rather hollow when squeezing it.

Does this mean they are all dead?

I am currently soaking just the root part in distilled water.

BTW when I say white, I am saying DRIED OUT WHITE. Not healthy white with green tip.
