Do plants grow better in the dark or light?

Plants grow taller in the dark. however they are a lot more healthy growing in the light.This because in the absence of light, cells in plant stems grow rapidly and leaf growth is therefore suppressed. If you take a closer look or let a plant continue to grow in the dark, you may notice thin and weak stems. One may also discover that without light, leaves tend to be small and pale, as they lack the green pigment, chlorophyll, and thus the ability to make food or photosynthesize. Whereas the one in the light slows its growth rate so that it can make leaves to photosynthesize.
