There is nothing like root cap. It will be simply a cover or crown over ur teeth.There is absolutely no connection between cap and cancer

There is nothing like root cancer. But definitely the term is root caries. If there is root caries we can restore it upto some extent. If u can send me the x ray of the tooth i can definitely help you.
