Gravitropism affects the roots of a plant, so say when you turn it on its side, after a while its roots will make an "L" shape.

How does gravity affect root growth?

Gravity affects root growth by exerting a force on the plant's roots, causing them to grow in the direction of the force. Roots typically grow downward in response to gravity, a phenomenon known as positive gravitropism. However, some plants have evolved to exhibit negative gravitropism, where their roots grow away from the force of gravity.

A change in the direction a plant grows in response to gravity?

This change in direction is called gravitropism. Plants respond to gravity by growing roots downward (positive gravitropism) and shoots upward (negative gravitropism). This mechanism helps plants optimize their growth by maintaining stable positions in relation to gravity.

How do auxins relate to phototropism and gravitropism?

Auxins are plant hormones that play a key role in both phototropism (growth towards light) and gravitropism (growth in response to gravity). In phototropism, auxins accumulate on the shaded side of the stem, promoting cell elongation and bending towards the light source. In gravitropism, auxins redistribute in response to gravity, causing differential growth and either upward (negative gravitropism) or downward (positive gravitropism) bending of the stem.
