Why is it feminine?
Radice is feminine because it descends from the Latin noun "radix" (root), which belonged to the third declension and had feminine gender—a grammatical classification that Italian preserved when the word evolved phonetically into "radice." Latin assigned gender somewhat arbitrarily for many third-declension nouns, making this ultimately a historical inheritance rather than a rule-based exception.
