Is that moss growing on top of your soil?
If so, you are way too wet.
You're right, those do look like roots, but I've never seen anything like that.

Is there a reason why there would be roots growing upwards from my pot?

Yep the roots want to grow down to the water at the bottom of the pot and they will in time start to push up the plant. More soil to cover the roots is needed.

You can also feed from the bottom and let the plants roots search for the water. This may help concentrate the roots on growing down. Roots on top is either to much water or root bound

You could have weathered away the soil on top of the roots if you don't have a sprinkling watering can.

Just put a little dirt on top. The one root probably just broke because it was dried out or something from being in the open air. I wouldn't be worried though.
