Mangrove roots appear brown on the map even when waterlogged. This is inconsistent with other waterlogged blocks such as leaves, slabs stairs, etc which all take on the water color.

I too can confirm this behavior though I'm pretty sure this is intentional given the triaging of both MC-222929 and MC-249676. These two reports suggest that the blocks' top faces should determine the color that they appear on maps. With waterlogged mangrove roots, since more brown pixels are present from a top-down view, I feel as if the map color should reflect this as it currently does, and I'm inclined to feel this way since both MC-222929 and MC-249676 have an assigned "Mojang Priority".
Deciding the map color based on how transparent a texture is is very arbitrary and can very easily change. It would be more ideal if there was just some consistency that was stuck to.
