My daughter has one front tooth broken 2weeks back but still there is no sign of new tooth. Does it takes long? She had decayed roots also which i think shall also be broken itself and new roots will grow. Is it?

Permanent teeth erupt when the child is about 6 years old. Deciduous teeth will gradually wobble and fall out. All deciduous teeth will be replaced by permanent teeth before they are 12 to 13 years old.
It is much more likely to just remove a severely damaged baby tooth as you are saying only roots are remaining.
X-ray of the teeth will help to look for permanent dentition.
