Gravitropism is when the roots grow deeper into the soil with the force of gravity pushing it. Wow, I'm in elementary school and my first person ever asking me something. It's a pleasure answering your question. I wish you luck on what ever your doing.

∙ 12y agoGravitropism, also known as geotropism, is the growth of plant parts in response to gravity. Positive gravitropism is when the plant grows downward. On the other hand, negative gravitropism is when the plant grows upward. Hope this helps you.

What kind of tropism is exhibited by a growing plant stem?
negative gravitropism
What kind of tropism do roots play?
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
What are 4 examples of tropism?
geotropism (also known as gravitropism), phototropism, and hydrotropism.
Specialized cells in plant roots ensure that they grow down into the soil to find water and nutrients?
gravitropism
Who discovered gravitropism?
Charles Darwin and his son did an experiment in 1880 using grass plants which led to the discovery of phototropism, this discovery led to many other scientists wanting to find out other tropisms
Will time upside down help a plant to grow faster?
well the scientific meaning of it is no because of gravitropism. gravitropism is the force of gravity on plant. dont know what gravitropism is: wikipedia search: gravitropism.
What is the growth of plants root downward and shoot upward called?
Elongation of the meristematic tissue
What kind of gravitropism do roots display when they grow into the soil?
positive gravitropism
Can you use a sentence with the word Gravitropism?
Is gravitropism why the seed is growing towards gravity?Yes gravitropism is why the roots go towards the center of the Earth.
What is the stimulus of gravitropism?
odor
A compound sentence using the word gravitropism?
Gravitropism is a noun, and I do not know what it is. ^^^ is the answer to the question! Hope it helped! Please vote!
Gravitropism is also known as what?
geotropism
What does gravitropism affect?
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.
Comparition and contraction between phototropism and gravitropism?
If I am not mistaken, phototropism is when plants grow towards the sun. Gravitropism is when plants grow towards the ground.
A change in the direction a plant grows in response to gravity?
A change in plant growth due to gravity is gravitropism. Roots have a tendency to grow in the direction of strongest gravitational pull.
In gravitropism which direction do roots grow?
Downward
An example of gravitropism?
Plants growing upside down........
