anti-root device
depends whether this is some sort of fence or staking device to set off an area and prevent incursion (word of the day) of roots.

: Indeed, you need to know what kind of thing it is if you want to be more specific than 'device'.

root barrier
Roots can be a problem with bamboo.
-> "Bamboo makes an ideal garden plant and grows quickly to provide privacy and beauty. Many designers and contractors are nevertheless hesitant to recommend bamboo to clients unless a root barrier is installed."
http://www.lewisbamboo.com/barrier.html
-> "The running bamboos are spreaders.
These species need room to grow. Don't plant them in tiny spaces unless a root barrier is installed."
http://www.bamboodirect.com/bamboo/info
-> "Root-proof barriers
A vertical barrier will stop rampant roots invading from next door. Dig a 30cm (1ft) deep trench and bury the barrier. The best material to use is damp-proof course (DPC), available from all builders' merchants."
