Question The start (beginning) of wingtip vortices

I have been looking around google and PPRuNe search, not yet found a reasonable answer.

Why do wingtip vortices start at lift-off point, and not before during the t/o roll? Actually is that statement true?

The same question for when they stop upon touch-down...
