If you only look at the value of the roots and not their multiplicity then the answer is yes.

The straight line y = x - 1 and the parabola y = (x - 1)^2 have the same root: x = 1. But the graphs are obviously different. All polynomials of the form y = (x - 1)^n will have x = 1 as the only root but they will have different shapes. The reason to this is that in the case of the straight line it is a root of multiplicity 1, in the case of a parabola it is a root of multiplicity 2 and in the case of y = (x - 1)^n it is a root of multiplicity n.
