Hello Mckayla, welcome to Greg! ☺️ If it’s not too much trouble and your seedling isn’t too stressed may I ask for a photo of its roots for further clarification? Roots don’t have consistent colourations between all plants so it could just be how this particular variety of apple tree grows from seed 🍎 Its leaves look nice and green and don’t have any obvious discolouration or wrinkling which suggests it’s doing well despite any current conditions within its roots 🌱
I agree with Tristan.

I can share what I know , maybe it's helpful.

The one time I had brown roots when they shouldn't have been, was because the moisture in the soil and the air was waaaay too high and the seedling died.

I'd ask for a picture as well so we maybe have a better understanding what's going on , and what kind of seedling it is.
