In general roots grow down and leaves and stems grow up. This is determined by gravity. If there are good growing conditions such as water, oxygen, temperature and nutrients in the soil that favor the development of the roots, the roots will grow more in that area. Roots do not sniff out conditions, they have to arrive on their own and will then "relate" to those conditions. Deep watering is beneficial because the soil further from the surface will dry out more slowly on dry days. From my experience plant actually grow best when they are watered frequently in small amounts, of course if for any reason you can't water for sometime the plants will suffer, so deep watering is more secure.

Why do plant stems grow toward the light and the roots toward the ground?
If you grow the Stem in the dark then it wouldn't be healthy/wouldn't grow, and if you grow the Root not towards the ground then it will be wobbly and go ON the ground INSTEAD of going into the ground and wouldn't grow :)
How do auxins cause hydrotropism?
Roots show positive hydrotropism and grow in the direction of water. This tropism causes problems in many cities where tree roots grow toward the drain pipes, and grow into the cracks, and plug up the drains. Hydrotropism causes plants to bend or turn toward water.
Where do plants get the energy to grow roots when their leaves have not yet grown to perform photosynthesis?
All plant seedlings can absorb nutrients through the seed membrane. These nutrients can then be converted to useable energy which the seed uses to grow it's roots and it's sprout. Water helps the seed absorb nutrients faster, but isn't always necessary.
Do seed plants have roots and stems?
Yes, many seed plants do have roots and stems. However, they do not have them initially, but they do grow them eventually.

Why hot water takes a shorter time to grow a seed?
The seed dosen't want to grow in hot water because it is burning the seed and it's roots to some extent
What are the first two things a seed begins to grow after it has germinated?
roots and a stem
Where do the roots of a plant grow toward a source of water?
Plant roots generally grow in the soil. In the case of aquatic plants, they are already in the water and do not need to grow toward it.
If there are no seed in the rain forest then how do the plants grow?
Either they don't or they spread by roots or cuttings.
Does the way the seed is put effect the seed yes or no?
it does not. if the seed is put upside down, it will not usually effect the growth of the seed. the sprout still grows up, and the roots grow down.
What do the roots of a willow tree show as the y grow toward a water source?

A tree is near a pond Which direction are its roots most likely growing?
the roots would grow toward the trees to get its food and water
Do big seed grow big plant?
yes because the roots will grow big and make the plant big like a tree
