The Elder Scrolls IV: Shivering Isles Hints
How can I get past these roots?
1 of 8: In a way similar to how you get past "opened elsewhere" gates and doors.
2 of 8: Look for a push button.
3 of 8: Except that it won't be a man-made type of button -- it'll be something "planty."
4 of 8: Look at the thing that's just to the right of the root blockade.
5 of 8: It registers as a "pull pod."
6 of 8: So pull it!
7 of 8: Doing so will open the roots, allowing you through.
8 of 8: NOTE: In other areas, you may encounter more "root gates," so always look for a pull pod near them. If you don't find one, then it must be on the other side, and you can't open the roots from your side.
