Geotropism
A root's downward growth as a response to gravity is called positive gravitropism or positive geotropism.
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.
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.
It is called geotropism.

By geotropism and presence of moisture in the soil roots determine their way for growth.
geotropism
Yes, due to an effect called negative geotropism bananas grow upwards.
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
