No, they cannot continue growing. This is because the apical meristematic tissues essential for their growth is present on tips. If the tips are removed, the roots can't grow.

"Roots" do not grow when their tips are cut.
EXPLANATION:
This is because the meristematic tissues that are essential for the growth of the roots are present in the tips.
Once the tips of the roots are cut, they stop growing and sometimes the plants they support may also stop growing. The cutting of the tips of the roots also affects the transport of 'water' and 'minerals' from the soil to the plant.
