W/o roots the plant would be unable to gather water and nutrients and would eventually die.It would not be able to absorb wate and mineral and eventually will die.
Plant roots will grow back just give it time and water. Plants will try to survive and have the ability to do what god gave it to do. If to severe then it might not be able to be saved. Try this trick- sprinkle some rooting hormone around the roots or mix with some water and put around the roots. You might be surprised!

If a plant doesn't have roots, which is impossible, the plant would die either by not having anything to send water to it to stay alive, or get blown away.
The plant would either die from not getting water from the roots or blow away.

Typically this would stunt the growth of the plant. Plants grown many roots and small offshoots from them to maximize their surface area for nutrient absorbance. If the plants roots are confined they can only grow so many or so big and this limits their potential to absorb enough nutrients. This can be observed in bonsai plants where roots are trimmed and growth is restricted.

roots access water, minerals etc and provide support. In theory a root or section of a root can be removed, as is done for propagating from root cuttings. The plant just grows a replacement. You can remove the whole root structure of some plants eg Salix and they will grow a whole new set, but you would need to put the trunk firmly into the ground for this to happen

It is impossible that a plant does not have roots. A plant without roots is like a man without a mouth to eat and drink. Similarly, roots can be considered as the mouth of a plant through which it absorps all the water and minerals it needs to live, grow and be healthy and without which it would surely die.

What might happen to a plant that has genetic mutations that results in shorter root?

The plant's roots would probably get more water and sunlight than longer roots do because it is higher to the surface of the soil so the two sources for survival reaches the roots faster.
