I have been diagnosed with a plantar plate tear. Can it heal by itself without treatment?

Depends.
If you cut back a lot on your activity levels, wear a stiffer soled shoe, it could heal up on its own. That may take a while and it could happen again as the original cause was not addressed.
To help it heal it needs strapping to hold the toe plantarfexed. See this: Strapping for a plantar plate tear
Then talk to your Dr about what was the cause and address that.
Long term, this device might help it heal:
