Found a relevant patch note from Jan 9th 2001.

*Root and Snare*

Root-type spells and "snare" type spells now use a separate spell
effect.

Previously, "Root" spells would overwrite any snare effect upon the
target. When the root would wear off, the target began moving at full
speed. With this change, when root wears off, snare will still be in
effect. This has a few added effects on the other end.

For instance, root will no longer cancel SoW or Journeyman's Boots
effects. It also allowed us to correct a long-standing bug that was
allowing bards to cancel root on themselves by playing Selo's
Accelerando if Selo's was in effect at the time that the bard was
rooted.
As mentioned in a previous patch where the first part of this
bug was fixed, this was not the intended effect.
This looks like Selo's would take you out of root, but not snare. Can't find any info of the "previous patch" it mentions.
Necro bump, per dev's request (more or less :P), with already-stated patch notes on how it was pre-2001~

>> if selos was already going while rooted, the next tick of selos should unroot.

(Playing the song AFTER rooted if it's not already playing would not cause this effect, so if someone's twisting selos and elemental rhythms, if root lands on elemental rhythms, the next twist of selos won't cancel .... but if selos was the last song played and let it channel another tick of selos, it would break root)
