Why is gravitropism a crucial plant adaptation?
Gravitropism is a plant's ability to grow in accordance to gravity. The roots of a plant are 'programed' to grow towards gravity (positively geotropic, down) and the stems are 'programed' to grow away from gravity (negatively geotropic, up). Plants do have some roots and stems that are not affected by gravity, these are ageotropic. Other parts grow at right angles to gravity, they are plageotropic. All these different forms of Gravitropism give a plant its shape; without this a plant would not be able to anchor itself in the ground, find sunlight, or grow properly in accordance to its surroundings.
Why do some plant roots grow above and under the ground?
roots are positvely geotropic hence, most of these grow underground but in some cases as in Cycas, corolloid roots grow above the ground for nitrogen fixation.
What is geotroprism?
Geotroprism is the growth of plants in response to gravity.Main roots are positively geotropic while main stems are negatively geotropic.The significance of the tropic response is to enable the root to penetrate into the soil for better anchorage and obtain more water and minerals.
The way a plant grows or bends in response to gravity is called?
Autotropic & geotropic
What is geotropic response?
Geotropic response is response toward gravity.
Are roots a plant?
The roots are the part of a plant not a plant
The roots of a plant are?
the roots of a plant is what is under the ground and makes the plant grow :)
What part of the plant anchors the plant?
their roots or rhizomes in mosses and ferns
Which part of a plant anchors it to the ground?
the answer is the roots
What are the roots of a plant?
the roots of a plant is what is under the ground and makes the plant grow :)
What are the roots for a plant for?
this is the answer the roots for a plant is for the plant to grow and it will help the plant into it's proper thing!
What do roots do to a plant?
The roots supply nutrients and water to the plant.
