They can come back from crowns or rhizomes. Rhizomes can look like roots and be mistaken for them, but daylilies do not regrow from true roots unless the root has at least a piece of crown attached..

Those of us who have grown daylilies from roots prefer not to have this argument with those who don't believe that it's possible. But I grew my first fan from a root when a hybridizer picked up a root (not a rhizome, not a crown), handed it to me, and told me to go home and pot it up. It did indeed grow into a fan, and I've done it several times since.
