No, it's a legend.
In act IV Scene 3 when Juliet is trying to decide whether to take the knockout potion, she says, "And shrieks like mandrakes' torn out of the earth". The mandrake is a plant whose root is frequently in two parts so that it looks like legs, as some carrots are. The legends said that they would scream if uprooted and their screams would kill the uprooter. Shakespeare also refers to this legend in Henry VI Part II, and has Falstaff in Henry IV Part II call someone a mandrake because "When 'a was naked, he was for all the world like a fork'd radish, with a head fantastically carved upon it with a knife."
Rachel wanted the mandrakes because she believed they would aid in her fertility and help her conceive a child. Mandrakes were thought to have aphrodisiac properties and were associated with increasing fertility.
There are quite a bit of plants- but I know there are those mandrakes- the ones that scream REAL loud- featured in the Chamber of Secrets and of course the Devil's Snare- you have to relax and it'll let you go, feautured in The Philosophers Stone. There probably are more- but I don't go to Hogwarts so... hope I helped a bit anyway.
Uprooted is up
Mandrakes have been used since Biblical times in magic and alchemy. There is a link to an article below that explains more.
Mandrakes grow in temperate regions around the world, typically in areas with rich, well-draining soil. They can be found in woodlands, meadows, and along forest edges. Mandrakes are known for their distinctive rosette of leaves and small purple or white flowers.

Mandrakes
The base word of "uprooted" is "root."
Possibly mandrakes. In Genesis 30:14 they are mentioned. Mandrakes are thought to promote conception.
Mandrakes are a plant that helps restore those who have been petrified to their original state. Their cry is also fatal to those who hear it. Mandrakes were first introduced in the book Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, and then are mentioned briefly in Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.
