Unfossilised material trapped in rock?

Hello, I was using a chisel on rocks, and this immediately caught my attention, hair/root like strands trapped in this rock, they are definitely look not fossilized, as they bend freely, they are about 4cm long. Theres also this much bigger circular-like thing.found in Northamptonshire, UK which is mostly Jurassic in age, thanks. I don't think it's modern, as it was completely surrounded/trapped in rock, and the rock was very hard.

The camera was really not good at catching these fibres in a picture, sorry. Also, sorry if I do not reply quickly, the internet is having a few issues.

Might be roots growing through cracks in the rock.

Accomplishing the impossible means only that the boss will add it to your regular duties.

I thought that too. It seems right in the middle, and the roots don't seem to have any sign of entry point, which is why it caught my attention. Do you know what the cylindrical bit is?
