More likely, it sprouted, but the sprouts were broken or eaten off by animals so they went unnoticed, but they kept the roots going long enough until one of the sprouts succeeded.  I've seen that happen with a number of species.

Is it even possible for a tree to die and then sprout up from the roots

That sure sounds like a seedling rather than a root sprout.    Donna
