Eh.. Not exactly..

Her roots grow like nails on a cat's claw.

When trimming a cat's claws you don't trim them off to far or you will hit the part beneath that's not keratine, but actual flesh.

Same for the Mandragora's roots. You take off the parts that grow way out, not the whole foot. And I'd expect her to tell you how far is far enough.

I also don't think she's bleed from her feet after that, more leave a resin-ish substance on the border where you cut it which dries and seals the waterways within said root like a real tree does.
