Transplant a section of Palo Verde root?

This Palo Verde in my yard appears to have grown branches from an exposed section of one of its larger roots about 5 feet away from the main tree trunk. I want to remove the 'extra tree', but I'm wondering if it would be worth my time to try to transplant the growth elsewhere in the yard. If I cut out this section of root and replant it, is it likely to survive?

Also, if anyone knows the specific name of this type of Palo Verde, please let me know. (I posted a larger photo of the parent tree over in the tree gallery). Thanks!
