Why cannot a quadratic or any polynomial equation be in format of x = a y 2 + b y + c
and to find roots we set x = 0.
Can roots be y-intercepts for the quadratic function?

Quadratic and polynomial equations can be written in terms of y rather than x. However, it is convention that we use x as the independent variable and y as the dependent one. thats why we always see
y = a x 2 + b x + c
rather than
x = a y 2 + b y + c
