Is this a dead root hanging off my pothos? Will it be ok?

Sure is! That’s totally normal for a root that’s exposed to the surface. Roots that high up might indicate that your plant is root bound though.

When the days start to lengthen in the spring it’s probably worth taking it out of the pot to check on the roots and see if it needs an upgrade!

what color are the rest of this guy’s aerial roots? if it’s a different color than normal it’ll be safer to prune it off imo

@voidnuggets this is the only exposed root on this plant , the rest go into the soil :)

@AggressivelyResting ah, then i think they’re a little root bound as kiersten said!
