Small garden plants have thin roots as they are small plants that do not require such large intakes of water.

Fully grown trees have large thick roots to sustain their large bodys, so going from that I would say yes the thicker the root the more water can be pulled up into the plant/tree.

The root helps to absorb water by osmosis process of diffusion and the capillary action lifts the water to the top of the tree along with the pressure created during transpiration in the plants.
