Well, in all the epiphytic orchids I have, the roots can't wait to burrow into the moss on their mounts. They head towards the dark every time, and never towards the light, so I really don't think they have green roots to photosynthesise, but rather to avoid light so they are tucked away in the media where the moisture and nutrients are.
Be careful not to keep the roots too moist.
I like having mine on mounts so that they dry out really fast.
