If Pine Tree Is Cut Down Do The Roots Keep Growing?

Q: When a pine tree is cut down do the roots keep growing?
A: They do not. Without the sugar energy coming down from needles or
leaves, tree roots don’t have any way to elongate. In addition, plant hormones
that direct root growth are unavailable as well.
