Depending on the individual tree and the amount removed, yes. This frequently happens as a result of mechanical damage (wind/snow, etc) or an insect or other creature feeding on it. Afterwards, the tree may stop growing upward (especially in older trees or with severe damage), or one or more branches under the area may take over as the tip of the tree and grow upward. The area is vulnerable to rot and other diseases, though, so death is possible.

How can I safely and effectively cut pine tree roots without causing harm to the tree?

To safely and effectively cut pine tree roots without harming the tree, you should first identify the roots that need to be cut and then use a sharp, clean tool like a pruning saw or loppers to make clean cuts. It's important to avoid cutting too many roots or cutting them too close to the trunk, as this can weaken the tree. Additionally, it's best to consult with a professional arborist before cutting any roots to ensure the tree's health and stability are not compromised.

Can Slash Pine roots continue to grow after the tree is cut down?

Yes, Slash Pine roots can continue to grow after the tree is cut down, as they may still receive nutrients and water from the soil. However, without the tree's above-ground structure, the roots may not thrive for long, as they rely on the tree for stability and energy production through photosynthesis. Over time, the roots may die off due to lack of support and resources.
