It looks like a fancy Sankey or alluvial diagram. This would be a more typical example:
And there is another in here: https://bioconductor.org/packages/release/bioc/vignettes/Director/inst/doc/vignette.pdf
Alluvial diagrams are a form of parallel coordinates diagram. You can plot them in R with the alluvial package or the ggalluvial extension of ggplot2.
To me it looks like overlapping horizontal violin plots, that have been smoothed at the edges. This could be a design that Guardant360 came up with (the legend mentions that the figures were generated by Guardant360). Here is an example of a horizontal violin plot. You can read more about violin plots here - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Violin_plot

Based on the information provided, it is either
Figure 3.orScreenshot-from-2019-12-12-15-56-59. I may have a better suggestion if you provide more information.Clonal architecture plots for a tumor are also represented in this way. See SciClone paper as an example.
