Roots equal a break in the pipe or not properly glued. Yard leakage.
Our sump pump next to a lake made a nice skating rink once. Nearest tree was 100 feet away but it still created a 6ft strand inside.

You can rent a tracer and mark the path. Rent a ditch digger on both sides to cut the source of intrusion and block, but they will still grow underneath that. There are flushable chemicals which prevent growth but not sure how they affect material breakdown. Best thing is replacement with a straight shot.
