Default Tree roots

As I understand it, a tree's roots reflect its canopy. i.e. a large tree
with a large canopy/growth will produce a large root formation to feed its
top. If however that large tree is severely coppiced/pollarded, does the
root formation 'die back', for the want of a better way of putting it?

Any advice welcomed

Mike
