Because specific cell has specific receptors for ech kind of hormone in animals, though plants donot follow same rule. Still cells are specifically responding due to other biochaemical reasons like presence of IAA oxidase degrading auxin fail to iduce the root growth. SEcondly depends on cell ability to recycle receptors or metabolisation
