Is this root rot?

I have some pomegranate cuttings in coconut coir/potting soil mix. One died after gradually dropping its leaves and had this white fungus on the roots when I pulled it up.  Does anyone happen to know if the fungus here is the cause of the cutting dying, or just a saprophytic fungus that took hold on an already struggling cutting? Any info would be much appreciated.

On second thought, could that be the rooting hormone powder I used? If so, I wonder what killed my plant?

The roots at the bottom look pretty healthy, could the stem have been damaged letting an infection in? How did the other cuttings do in the end?
