I am not completely sure where you are coming from with your post (in terms of concepts).
So before I am able to provide with an idea I must ask questions.
I am assuming your understanding of a root cellar is based on the purpose of storing harvested roots.
If so, why do you really need to build a cellar for keeping roots, and any available space not sufficient for it?
Roots, harvested or growing, should be agreeing with their environment regardless of artificial prospects.
So what is the concern requiring a specialization for root storage? Wherefore comes the concern for building an insulated space?
A healthy environment should be facilitating storage naturally for the people that it is able to feed.
If, by another measure, the cellar's purpose is to somehow "age" the roots, and not simply to store them, could you describe that envisioned process with greater detail?
In thinking of animal life and their intelligence by relating to abundant food I have in my mind how squirrels are able to transform, or "age" acorns by burying them (often becoming soil fertilizer even if recovered and nibbled by them), but then again acorns aren't roots naturally made to be underground, so it seems odd that you would have to return them underground when supposedly they would be ready for animal use.
Could you clarify any of those questions? They could possibly lead for the appropriate decision making in proceeding with your roots.
