Ultimately the shoot grows upward and the root downward
Elongation of the meristematic tissue
Downward
The root grows downward due to gravitropism, a plant's response to gravity, while the shoot grows upward towards light through phototropism, a plant's response to light. These directional growth patterns enable the root to anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil, while the shoot reaches for sunlight to undergo photosynthesis for energy production.
A plant grows both upward and downward simultaneously. The shoot system, which includes the stem and leaves, grows upward toward the light, while the root system grows downward into the soil for nutrients and stability. This dual growth allows the plant to maximize its access to resources essential for survival.
