I couldn't stop reading this one part of what you said.
For starters no it is not. Thrash is a faster more aggressive version of Metal. And second it has been around since the early or mid 70s. It's creation is generally attributed to either Queen or Black Sabbath (depending on who you ask). The songs in question for those would be either Stone Cold Crazy or Symptom Of The Universe.
Fun Fact: Symptom Of The Universe is not only one of the first Thrash Metal songs, it is also considered the first Prog. Metal song.

Let me elaborate:
Thrash metal came about in the early 80's as a combination of Speed Metal/NWOBHM and Hardcore. Speed Metal is what you are thinking of that came about in the mid 70's, through bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest. The aggression that you see in Thrash Metal comes from Hardcore.

Do you have good examples of thrash metal riffs in nu-metal music? Because I see the hardcore, I see the grunge (bad grunge, though), but not much when it comes to thrash.

If you see the hardcore, then you're also seeing the thrash. Thrash is just a hybrid of metal and hardcore so by saying both thrash and hardcore spawned nu metal, I was being somewhat redundant. I just get annoyed at those people who complain that nu-metal and metalcore aren't metal, even though it's quite obvious that it is.

When it comes to Nu-metal what are the metal roots? What did it evolve from?

Nu-metal actually comes from thrash metal, grunge, and hardcore. Now I'm not saying I like nu-metal, but people should actually understand that it was the natural direction metal was taking in the 90's, because of grunge.

Forget heat, if your sump pump fails your house will flood.

I wish my future was brighter than that.
