When roots are blocked from going random they just stop growing.
The answer is yes because once blocked by something where else does the root have to go but everywhere! So yes, roots grow in random directions when blocked.
Yes, when roots encounter an obstacle preventing them from growing downward, they may begin to grow horizontally in search of space and nutrients. This phenomenon is known as root circumnavigation or root colonization and is a common adaptive response in plant roots.
Roots grow downward due to gravitropism, a plant's natural response to gravity. The root cap detects gravity and helps guide the roots to grow in a downward direction, allowing for proper anchorage, water and nutrient absorption, and stability for the plant.

because it keeps the heat away from the roots to protect them.
The roots of plants predominantly grow downward, towards the soil.
The response of roots growing downward is an example of gravitropism, also known as geotropism. This is a plant's natural reaction to gravity where the roots grow towards the Earth to anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients.
Positive gravitropism, where the plant roots grow in response to gravity by growing downward. This helps the roots anchor the plant and seek out nutrients and water in the soil.
Because they need to anchor down the plant.
palm tree roots grow mostly downward so they are not likely to damage your pool
