Actually I've seen scientific papers that did just that - hydroponically kept a root alive until full colonization. I wouldn't attempt that, I have plenty of actual living forest to mess with this extremely complicated system in a jar, knowing it is possible feels enough, pushing it further is not worth the effort. At least now.
