They can. Most stars expand to thousands of times their original sizes as they near the end of their lives., potentially consuming planets. This will be the fate of Mercury, Venus, and possibly Earth. Analysis of other planetary systems suggests that some planets have unstable orbits, which could potentially lead to the being swallowed by their stars.
What else can I help you with?

How does Jupiter swallow planets?
Jupiter does not swallow in planets currently. It may have pulled in proto-planets early in the history of our solar system. This would have been caused by Jupiter's enormous gravitational pull.
What makes stars and planets?
The Solar System Makes the planets and the Stars.
Do the stars orbit the planets or do planets orbit stars?
