Why do roots grow downward?
Plant roots are capable of performing this trick by sensing gravity (geotropism or gravitropism). In space they grow in random directions.
Does roots grow in random directions when they are blocked from growing downward?
Apparently yes they do. Most plant roots grow to the sides..that is if they don't die.
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
List of plants that have roots that only grow down?
most plant roots grow down, not up!
Do seeds grow in roots of plants?
No, not at all.
In gravitropism which direction do the roots grow?
Downward
Do plants grow downwards?
No, plants do not always grow downward. Plant roots always grow downward due to positive gravitropism or positive geotropism. Plant shoots always grow upwards due to negative gravitropism or negative geotropism.
In gravitropism which direction do roots grow?
Downward
What are some example of a plants or fruits that grow from roots?
Carrots, Potatoes, Beets,
Do plants grow from roots?
Not all plants have roots (eg phytoplankton) and while some plants do grow form their roots (eg grasses), most plants do not grow from their roots but from their apical growing tip.
In which direction do plants roots grow?
The roots of most plants grow towards the pull of gravity.
Do the roots of a plant always go downward?
Plant roots grow whatever direction is necessary to acquire the largest quantity of water most easily. For example, a tree in the desert will grow roots very, very deep to get to the resources of water there. However, if you constantly water a tree, its roots will grow sideways just below the surface of the soil (which, by the way, can cause it to be unstable in high wind, and even blow over).

How do roots know to grow downward?
Because they need to anchor down the plant.
Do roots grow in random when they are blocked from rowing downward?
When roots are blocked from going random they just stop growing.
What are the example of plants grow from roots?
Potatoes, Yam, Turnip, basta amoy lupa un un! :)
