Hey ARMY
Roots growing in waterlogged soil may die because they cannot absorb the oxygen needed to function normally. The longer the air is cut off, the greater the root damage. The dying roots decay and cannot supply the plants with nutrients and water. Damage caused by over watering is frequently misdiagnosed as pest damage.

Answer:
If a potted plant is over-watered for a long time, then the plant may die because too much water expels all the air from in-between the soil particles and water is not available for aerobic respiration.
