Not really. Roots are submerged in moist soil continiously. They are made to handle those moist conditions. Branches on the other hand are mostly in the dry air.
A special note here before I have everybody sceaming root rot I said moist not drenched. Hopefully most of you know that there is a bit of a difference ;o)
