Behind the scene, Sage uses pynac (a clone of ginac) for its handling of
symbolics. Implicit roots are supported. Docs say:

--------

"By default, all the roots are required to be explicit rather than
implicit. To get implicit roots, pass explicit_solutions=False to .roots()

------

I am not sure how well fricas interface is handling these,
though.
