In this paper we prove that if T is a k-th root of a p­hyponormal operator when T is compact or T$^{n}$ is normal for some integer n > k, then T is (generalized) scalar, and that if T is a k-th root of a semi-hyponormal operator and have the property $\sigma$(T) is contained in an angle < 2$\pi$/k with vertex in the origin, then T is subscalar.
