Why do root grows out of seed leave before the shoot grows out?
If the stem and shoot were to grow before the roots the plant will fall over and die. It has to root so that the plant will have support and food to grow up. Since root root has to absorb water and other nutrient for growth and development, its emergence from the seed before shoot is essential.
When seeds germinate which part of the plant will grow first?
The first part of a plant to grow is the root. The mesocotyle of the seed can be differentiated into epicotyle and hypocotyle. The hypocotyle is the part that grows into the root system and the epicotyle is that which grows into the shoot system. After the basic differentiation of the cells of the mesocotyle into those of hypocotyle and epicotyle, the root begins to form from the hypocotyle. It absorbs the initial essential minerals reqiured by the development of the rest of the parts i.e. the shoot.
How does gravity affect bean seeds planted in four different directions and how will this affect farmers?
Gravity affects seed germination by altering the placement of plant hormones which affect the direction the first root grows and the direction the shoot grows. Gravity pulls some hormones downward which cause roots to grow down while the shortage of that hormone plus the presence of other hormones cause the shoot to grow upward. It doe not matter which way the seed is planted, this will not have an effect of the developing seedling.
Prop root plants?

Is a stem the same as a root?
Yes. The stem grows from the root. It is the ROOT that grows first, not the stem; therefore the stem cannot possibly grow otherwise! It makes sense that something cannot exist without the other being their first; therefore the STEM could not have grown if the ROOT had not been there 1st

Why do a plants roots always grow downwards and its shoots always grow upwards?
the stimulus in this case is gravity .shoots grow up,away from gravity.roots grow down,towards gravity.again auxin control this growth.if a plant is put its side the auxin builds up on the lower side of the shoot and the root.in the shoot the auxin stimulates it to grow moreon the lower sidethis causes the shoot to bend upwardsin the root the auxin also builds up on the lower side.but Ayxin slows down growth in a rootso tht upper side of the root grows quicker than the lower sidethe root bends downwards
