It could well be fungus, growing and feeding on the dead material. Not necessarily harmful to the orchid. But - a close-up good resolution photo of these white spots could help here.

Take a look at this video ----

Thank you so much for your reply!

I don't think the roots are dead, they are firm and if i cut the firm yellow/brownish ones, they have like wet firm white tissue inside. This means they are viable i asume?

About the stem.. there are a LOT of roots growing from the lower parts of the stem, asuming these roots are viable, does this mean i better leave the stem as it is? It does fit in my new pot.

2 more close up pics on the white spots

Can't wait to hear your 2 cents!
