Why do stems grow up?

It Is Their Response To Gravity


Roots growing with gravity and stems growing against gravity are examples of?

Geotropism


How does gravitropism effect plants?

Gravity. Gravitropism is when an object either moves towards or away from the force of gravity


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.

Do plants grow better upside down?

No. Plants are designed for the roots to grow in the direction of gravity and the leaves to grow against gravity. A plant grown upside down will adapt by curving its stem upwards again.
