I am sure it is not the root (it looks like it is, but it is actually a dried stem)
This is the problem, I don't know why the sprout will become like this, they looks healthy and normal and suddenly the stem (cicled in red) starting to become soft and drying out
 
Damping off.

It doesn't look like you are keeping the medium overly wet or anything but are the little fellas getting plenty of air circulation?

Maybe just bad soil too. Australian commercial potting mix strikes again. :\ (What brand is it?)
 
I've had a few of mine go this way too... but nowadays i bury my new seedlings a lot deeper, so that the potting mix is almost up to the first set of leaves, and i haven't had it happen since..which is the same as Mitch has said really.
