Answer and Explanation:

Tomatoes have two ways of growing. They can either grow from a seed, or grow from clippings. There are also two ways a tomato's plant root system can look like.

Fibrous Root system: This formation of roots grows when you use a clipping from another tomato plant. From there and as it grows, it will have a fibrous root system.

Taproot (Root) system: This formation of roots grows when you plant seed in the ground. From there on, it grows with a taproot system.

To answer your question, yes. Depending on how the plant is grown, depends on the outcome and product of how the plant's root system will be.

I hope this helps.
