Especially since Cyp roots don't regenerate and they absorb most water and nutrients from their tips, so even if just their tips are cut off, you have a weakened plant. A healthy Cyp rhizome will have most, preferably all, of the roots completely intact. If you have a single-growth plant (which is usually what is sold unless you pay premium prices for a multigrowth plant), and you snap off the shoot bud, you probably have a dead plant.
