MelodyL,
The root may be a bit tricky to extract because it has been root canaled making it brittle, fragile and infected and there may be some gum disease occurring in that area from the bacteria. Also the older we get, the more dense our jaw bone becomes and sometimes teeth become a bit ankylosed, fused to the bone. So it would be ideal to have an oral surgeon remove it.

Thanks so much . Oh I took the crown to the dentist and they said they will only know after the x Ray is taken on Monday. Will update and thanks so much.
