Plant geotropism (or, more properly gravitropism) is the growth of a plant in response to gravity. Yes, it's just that simple, though different aspects of plant growth may not indicate this. You might be confused because of a combination of responses of a plant to, say, gravity and light, or gravity and constant wind. Now that you are aware of this, you can certainly imagine some other combinations. The result of geotropism is for the plant to grow straight upright unless it has to grow towards the light.
When the auxins in the plant act towards gravity... positive geotropism is wen the plant goes to the direction of gravity which would be downwards..negative geotropism would be upwards going against the natural gravity
Geotropism occurs due to the plants response to gravity. If the roots grow downwards they are displaying positive geotropism whereas the stems display negative geotropism.
Brownies and fries cooking is an example of geotropism. Hope this helps sources donutville.
The downward movement of plant roots is the best example of geotropism.
Gravotropism is the tendency of plants to sense which way is "up" and to grow that way.
Geotropism is the affect that gravity has on the growth of the plant. The best example is the roots of a plant growing down.
Geotropism is a plant growth by gravity
heres a pretty good place to get ur info
Yes, geotropism DOES determine the direction of growth. Negative geotropism is when a section of the plant grows upwards. For example, stems grow upward. Positive geotropism is when a section of the plant grows downwards. In this case, a plant's roots would be the perfect example.
Gravitropism (also known as geotropism) is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms. Wikipedia

Because of positive geotropism. All plants even the ones with weak stems do this.
Phototropism - towards light. Think plants, flowers, leaves. They generally turn towards light.Geotropism - towards the earth. Go figure.Hydrotropism - towards water or towards moisture.
geotropism mean to have fun doind the things
It is called geotropism.

No
Geotropism is a plant growth or movement in response to gravity. Upward growth of the plant's parts against gravity is called negative geotropism, whilst downward growth of roots is called positive geotropism.

Geotropism
earth root
firstly there is no word as GVRAVITROPISM. When plants grow towards gravity it is called GEOTROPISM. its is mainly the root of plants that show geotropism; because they grow downward. but the stem show negative geotropism because it grows up in the opposite direction of gravity
geotropism is the ability of the plant to grow in he direction of gravity so if there isn't sufficient water available the roots of the plant due to geotropism go deeperinto the the earth so as to obtain some amount of water which will help them to survive
