Are you thinking along these lines?
Some plants are cut back to the rootstock in autumn, or simply die back above the rootstock.
In spring it then sprouts again from the rootstock. The root gets bigger and bigger and spreads under the soil, the plant that grows on top keeps its size but grows more.
Example with trees.
When a tree is pruned, shoots form around the old stump. These shoots each take over part of the old roots and continue to grow. Over time, the old rootstock rots and the shoots form a new tree on their own. They then stand beautifully in a circle.
In German, this is called a fairy ring (Feenring).
In the past, such groups of trees had a magical aura. Sometimes they also have names, for example "the seven brothers".
