The roots are on the top of the brown thing?

Yeah, she's holding it upside down to show the roots. The roots don't grow at the top. 

Actually, I read something interesting. These pods drop in to the water and initially they float horizontally, like boats. Over time, after they have had time to drift, the root end absorbs water and becomes heavier and sinks, so they end up floating vertically. When the bottom end touches sediment, they take root. Some sources say that, if a vertically floating pod does not touch ground for an extended period, it will shift back to vertical to extend its range.
