My thoughts on that root are that it is quite ugly. It does communicate something in how it mirrors the movement of the branches, but that right angle is just horrible. If it were me, I would simply remove it. It the root was not so severe with its right angle I think it would improve the look of the tree. I don't know that the rock improves the tree by any great amount because that unnatural angle is still very much obvious. It just doesn't look natural by any stretch of the imagination. Ultimately, it is your tree and you are the one who has to look at it so if you like the root then keep it and the heck with everybody else.
