Looks normal for the anatomy of healthy growing roots. Soon they could transition to a larger root.
If you used a soilless mix with mych as an ingredient the roots will look just like that.....and that is a good thing.
Do an internet search keyword "root hair" you'll find out some amazing stuff happens in the soil.
Also if you go to a big box store soon go to the garden center and pop out a plant from a cell pack and look at the roots, you will find they look the same as yours
