I've had something similar happen with a large D. capillaris plant.
Cut back the unhealthy root, leaving as much healthy tissue as
possible, and repot it. You might want to brush the cut part with
fungicide to prevent any further attacks. Keep the pot in
water--remember, these plants like to be kept moist, but keep less
water in the dish. That may help to minimize rot.
