Yes you could, but most palm trees have a solitary trunk, and the central crown has the only point that it can grow from. They're very different to other types of tree, which would respond to pruning.

If it's a clump forming palm, and most of them are n't, then it may resprout from the base. If you can edit your question with the type of palm that you've got, I can give you more accurate information.

2days later, notice that you haven't managed to identify which particular Palm tree you have - above info applies- in general Palms have their only growing point in the central top part of their growth and pruning this off kills their potential for growth.

Will a palm tree grow on it own if chopped off another palm tree?

No, a palm tree will not grow on its own if chopped off from another palm tree. When a palm tree is severed, it cannot regenerate or grow roots without being planted properly. Palm trees require their roots and the connection to the soil to absorb water and nutrients essential for growth. Therefore, a chopped-off palm tree will not survive or develop independently.
