How does a meniscus get displaced in the first place? i have been trying to find out if a displaced meniscus root is a tear at the attachment ?

Root tear: Meniscus root tear is a tear at the back attachment. It renders the entire meniscus nonfunctional and should be repaired in those without much arthritis.
