towards the water.
Roots may grow sideways due to obstacles in the soil, seeking water and nutrients in a particular direction, or in response to environmental factors such as gravity or light. This phenomenon is known as root skewing or root gravitropism, where roots grow horizontally instead of vertically.
Well, roots will always grow down due to geotropism. It is caused by the statocytes in the root cap. They sense the force of gravity and grow down according to it. But if the root does not have a root cap, then the plant will not necesarily grow down. And if the seed is layed on a flat place like a counter, then the roots will grow any which-way. I did an experiment on this for the science fair. I found it at: http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/PlantBio_p034.shtml
The root word for direction is "direct".
The root of a plant typically grows downward, in the direction of gravity. This growth is guided by the presence of gravity-sensing cells in the root tips, which help the roots to establish their position in the soil and search for water and nutrients.
toward the sun light..................:)
Gravity affects root growth by exerting a force on the plant's roots, causing them to grow in the direction of the force. Roots typically grow downward in response to gravity, a phenomenon known as positive gravitropism. However, some plants have evolved to exhibit negative gravitropism, where their roots grow away from the force of gravity.
It is incorrect to say that a root will bend towards gravity if placed horizontally because plant roots grow in response to various stimuli such as light, moisture, and nutrients, in addition to gravity. The direction of root growth is influenced by the presence of these external cues, not just gravity alone. Therefore, roots may bend or grow in a particular direction based on multiple factors, not solely gravity.
where do veggies grow? where do veggies grow?
If the branch of trees has been cut then it will tends to grow but if trunk is comletly cut the it will never will grow
i think that the root sucks up moisture in the soil to help the plant grow.
The root is alescere, meaning to grow.
first the root then the shoot
