the stimulus in this case is gravity .
shoots grow up,away from gravity.
roots grow down,towards gravity.again auxin control this growth.
if a plant is put its side the auxin builds up on the lower side of the shoot and the root.
- in the shoot the auxin stimulates it to grow moreon the lower side
- this causes the shoot to bend upwards
- in the root the auxin also builds up on the lower side.but Ayxin slows down growth in a root
- so tht upper side of the root grows quicker than the lower side
- the root bends downwards
What else can I help you with?
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.
What is the growth of plant roots down word and shoots upward called?
Elongation of the meristematic tissue
Why the shoots grow upwards?
turgor pressure (maybe)
Why do a plants roots always grow downward and its shoots always grow upward?
as you prabably already know, plants feed souly off of soil, (dirt), and the roots will always be trying to gain more and more nutritions from the dirt, and will keep trying to go deeper. (THAT ABOVE IS NOT POSTED BY ME) *plants are gravitrophic meaning that the roots will always grow towards gravity and to of course absorb the nutrients, but there are some plants that do grow outside of of the soil like in pots and they still grow downward.
Example of plants that grow from shoots?
African Violets . . . . . . .Streptocarpus . . . . . Begonia . . . . . . Kataka-taka
What is geotroprism?
Geotroprism is the growth of plants in response to gravity.Main roots are positively geotropic while main stems are negatively geotropic.The significance of the tropic response is to enable the root to penetrate into the soil for better anchorage and obtain more water and minerals.
What are plants that grow through shoots?
Bamboo

What kind of growth involves roots and shoots but not reproductive and occurs in most plants?
The kind of growth which involves roots and shoots but not the reproductive structers which occurs in most plants is known as apomixis.
Can you use newtons third law of motion to explain why the rocket moves upwards?
Third law: The mutual forces of action and reaction between two bodies are equal, opposite and collinear.the force coming out of the rocket creates thrust and thus pushes the rocket and the ground in opposite directions, the mass of the earth is so great that the rocket can not really move it, so instead the rocket shoots up away from the ground.
