an interesting Q and A with GZ regarding resists, specifically the different chances to break early between different types of root.
Q: Does a spell's level have any affect on resists... What pattern, if any, is there in relation to this.
A: ... for example, the different types of roots all save the same (ie: have the same chance to be resisted), but have different effects as to duration, or chance of breaking once they have succeeded.
TLDR some root spells should be more prone to break early compared to others.
