A spherical root generates a class of roots which contains only one complex number $z$ and its conjugate $\bar{z}$, and this class can be determined by $z$. In this paper, we deal with the complex roots of quaternion polynomials. More precisely, using B\'{e}zout matrices, we give necessary and sufficient conditions, for a quaternion polynomial to have a complex root, a spherical root, and a complex isolated root. Moreover, we compute a bound for the size of the roots of a quaternion polynomial. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1501.02942v1
