Does root position have any relation to tree sections?

[Mike Corazzi]

i.e. Do roots going to right of tree feed the corresponding section of the tree?

Actually, leaves going to right feed the corresponding section of the tree.
Not just feed, but also the raw material for making more tree.

IOW, there will be more and bigger roots under a big green branch than a branch with little green on it.

It depends on the species. For example, Juniper lifelines can twist. So, while there is a direct link between certain branches and certain roots, they may or may not be on the same side.

@Vance Wood has found sectional connectivity between roots and foliage in mugos. Maybe he'll chime in.
