They get towards the light and do photosynthesis to make their own food.

What is negative tropism?
...Negative tropism is a change in text of a song due to mishearing the lyrics or inaccurate memory of the lyrics. It results in multiple versions of songs after a while. It is very common in English and Scottish balladry, as well as in Appalachian ballads.
What type of tropism do cactus plants show?
Phototropism is the type of growth that the desert cactus plant shows above ground. It grows in response to the high levels of heat and light in the desert. The above ground parts are called the shoots, and the below ground roots. The roots grow in response to the search for moisture in the soil.
What is the term for a plant's movement or growth in response to touch or contact?
I believe that the answer to your question would be a tropism. A tropism is a force that applies to an object, making it move somehow. For example, a plant that grows towards the ground would have a "positive gravitropism" because it is growing towards the ground. Also, a plant that grows towards the sun would have a "positive phototropism" because it grows towards light. There are many other types of tropisms that apply to chemicals, seasonal changes, and so forth, but the ones that I talked about are the two most common and basic types of tropisms. I hope I answered your question.
What are the five basic characteristics of plants?
Plants have roots and shoots. Plants have reproductive organs. Plants convert sunlight to energy. Plants have stems to transport water and sugar to all parts of the plant. Plants have cell walls.
What kinds of growth involves roots and shoots but not reproductive structures and occurs in most plants?
Vegetative growth
What is phototropism what does have to do with plants?
Tropism is the growth response of a plant caused by a stimulus. Gravitropism is the growth response of plant to gravity. The roots grow downward towards gravity, which is called positive gravitropism. The stem and upper part of a plant grow upward, away from gravity, which is called negative gravitropism.
What are the effects of the tropisms caused by light and gravity?
A tropism is a growth response whose direction is determined by the direction of the stimulus. Growth towards the stimulus is called a positive tropism. Growth away from the stimulus is called a negative tropism. The response to light is called phototropism. Shoots are positively phototropic, roots are negatively phototropic. The response to gravity is called gravitropism (or sometimes geotropism). Shoots are negatively gravitropic and roots are positively gravitropic. http://users.rcn.com/jkimball.ma.ultranet/BiologyPages/T/Tropisms.html

What causes shoots and leaves to elongate?
Leaves and shoots grow towards light in a reaction known as phototropism. Similarly, an attribute called geotropism causes roots to grow down towards gravity.
Do plants grow downwards?
No, plants do not always grow downward. Plant roots always grow downward due to positive gravitropism or positive geotropism. Plant shoots always grow upwards due to negative gravitropism or negative geotropism.
Example of plants that grow from shoots?
African Violets . . . . . . .Streptocarpus . . . . . Begonia . . . . . . Kataka-taka
What are plants that grow through shoots?
Bamboo
