when plants die down, do they come back same size in Spring?

This is my first winter with container plants out of doors. When plants die back in the winter, when they come back in the Spring, do they somehow know to come back at the same size, or slightly bigger, than they were the Spring before? Is this all determined by the root size? I know this might be a dumb question.... but I'm just double checking. I assume that it has to do with the roots, and that just cuz a plant develops brand new growth each Spring, that that doesn't mean it's like a brand new "baby" plant, right? The growth should be just as full and high as the previous year, right, assuming there was no root damage? Tx.
