Could someone suggest me some plants that will not put out root everywhere.

For example my Hygro sends roots everywhere. There roots sometime look like
algae strands. And I know most of the swords will not send visible roots.

Hygrophila is among the "rootiest" of stem plants. You might have better luck
with babytears, Rotala, Ludwigia, Bacopa, or Didiplis diandra. Some of these
do produce occasionaly roots, but not anything like Hygro.

Must be tank conditions. Before I got rid of it, Baby tears grew from 6 stems to a
football-sized mass in less than 6 weeks, sucked all the nitrate out of the tank,
and grew short roots from NEARLY EVERY NODE. My Rotala macaranda (spelling?) drops
long bushy roots every 3-6 inches.

You're kidding! Maybe we had different species. I don't think I've ever seen
node roots on my babytears. Though it certainly does grow fast.

Pondpenny, now...that has a ton of roots. It's worse than the Hygro.
