I want to plot a sin wave from -pi to pi with an amplitude of 3 and then show its intersection points on the x-axis with a line going down from there to the bottom of the graph.

As the error message indicates, it's not possible to plot a cell array. You have defined several of your plotted variables in that class: hori, flat, root1, root2, inter. It's not clear to me why you have set them as cell arrays rather than just as double or single precision variables, but if you need cell arrays, they in order to plot them, you will need to convert them. See doc cell2mat. You can use it in the same command line with the plot. For example:
plot(cell2mat(hori), cell2mat(flat), 'm')
