There are a lot of tiny cells that contain cytoplasm and chloroplasts.
If a plant is tipped on its side, the shoot will still grow upward.

The side-to-side motion serves to grind the plant fibers. Carnivores slice and tear the meat they eat, Herbivores grind and crush the fibrous plant matter they eat.
As long as the roots are in the ground the plant will grow towards the light.
which side up do u plant a peach pit
The windward side.
Lay a cardboard box on its side. Take a box and cut a hole in a side. If it is rectangular, make the hole on a smaller side. Stack some small objects in the side next to the hole. Do not plug up the hole. Plant some beans in a flower pot. When they begin to sprout, place the pot on the side of the box opposite of the hole. Close the box and tape it up. Check the plant every two days and water it. Tape the box up after checking on the plant. Try this with a TickleMe Plant and not only will your plant move towards the sunlight (photo-tropism) but your plant will move when you tickle it (thigmotropism).
There are auxins in plants (They help the plant in it upward growth). They tend to move away from direct sunlight.so when the plant is directly casted by light, the auxins in the plant move to the other side of the plant that has less light, thus their concentration becomes more on one side (the side with less light). Now since they help in the plant growth, the side of the plant with more of the auxins tends to grow faster than the side with less auxins, therefore the plant bends towards the light.
The notches or sometimes scars up the side of the stem of a plant are called nodes

Im going to improve the answer from before because its a bit rubbish! Auxin is a hormone found mainly at the tip of a plant which helps it grow towards the sun for photosynthesis. When sunlight shines on one side of the plant it will destroy some of the auxin. The other side of the plant wont be in the sunlight, it will be in the shade, so it will have more auxin. This means the shaded side of the plant will grow more than the lit side, so the plant will grow towards the light source. This gives the plant a better chance of survival as it can photosynthesise more. :D
