Its fine, they will airprune and die off. I would make sure tho, that the tank itself is clean and cannot infect the roots with anything, also the tank needs to drain properly.

Auswirkungen für die Pflanze sollten gering bis nicht spürabar sein. ich habe selbst schon ein Aeroponiksystem am Laufen gehabt und mir sind die Wurzeln durch die Abflüsse in den Nährstofftank gewachsen. Das einzige Problem das entstehen kann ist, dass dir die Wurzeln den Ablauf verstopfen und du damit dein System überfluten könntest. Meine Lösung war, die Wurzeln aus dem Tank raus einfach in den Wurzelbereich zu ziehen. So sind die Abflüsse wieder frei und alles ist gut.

You can do root pruning. There can be a few problems such as oxygen availability you don't want them to grow too deeply. You can also have issues with nutrient uptake and root rot.

As long as the pump and drains are clear you're OK.
