Do root vegetables regrow themselves, and if so, how?

I mean, don’t you take the whole root out of the ground when you harvest, for example, a carrot? Do you have to replant every single carrot you harvest?

Carrots are regrown from carrot seeds; potatoes are generally regrown from “seed potatoes” which are chunks of potatoes with enough energy to sprout and sustain leaves until they are self-sufficient.

(The carrot is the actual functional root of the plant, but the potato is a storage tuber attached to the plant’s roots.)
