Will new leaves appear if cut off top of a carrot placed in a saucer of water is kept in a sunny place?

No, new leaves will not appear if the top of a carrot is cut off and placed in water. The top of a carrot is the leafy green part, and it cannot regrow new leaves once it has been cut off. However, the carrot itself may start to sprout new roots if the conditions are right.
