Sorry, John. That's a myth. If it was factual, many of the equatorial species we know and love would all be extinct, as they can stay dripping wet for months at a time.
Water does not cause rot; suffocation caused root death, and then the dead tissue rots.
I have had plants in semi-hydroponics for decades, and they've never had an opportunity to dry out.
