Okay, I would actually be kind of freaked out if a grass like substance suddenly turned into the consistency of a root and wrapped around my hand.
If it had been her normal root hands, no problem, but the conversion from grass like hair into a root is kind of... weird. I would love to research it thoroughly! See how the hair converts into root form and how the internal components operate to shift so freely into something gnarly from something soft and cool.

Think of hair and nails, since they're a same substance - just like wood, bark and leaves. "Hair" strings re-weaved into various tissue and move around. Sponge-like structure would be more similar to mushrooms (try to roast overfilled frying pan of these - when they ready, there would be barely a pile over rim left) than "classic" wooden structure, but porous structure is moved/supported via hydraulic (think of spider legs of other visibly "animate" plants) or pneumatic (just like we breathe and hold breath) means. Still, "classic" tree structure (I mean "year circles") could be there too as sort of "high pressure" tubes as spine of sort, since spine discs similar "onion slice" pattern.
Thought on that hair strand: looking at theory above, hair strand tightens on itself, inside "stings" or "tissue" unweaves and regrow into denser than "grass rope" (homogenous) structure - the vine. Look closer, that on the end hair got "greenish bark. Or her hair as a whole consist of these vines, that sprouts and support grass as "hair".
