These roots look dead to me, yet have green tips

I just unpotted an oncidium. I thought I had gone through and reported them all, but missed this one. The old medium was very broken down. I thought most of these roots were absolutely dead, they are wrinkly and dark. But I see green tips.

How do I tell whether roots are dead or alive?
