I have seen basil pulled out of the ground also, and the roots left on.

We don't cut ours; we take it roots and all, bunch it, put it in water
so the roots are covered with water; it stays in the water at the
market.

As it wants to bolt I suspect it won't do well as cut and come again
anyway (we just seed a new planting about every three weeks), and I do
think it holds better with the roots. If the soil is soft you can just
pull it, if soil is dry a trowel is useful.
