The response of roots growing downward is an example of what?

The response of roots growing downward is an example of gravitropism, also known as geotropism. This is a plant's natural reaction to gravity where the roots grow towards the Earth to anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients.


What is the meaning of gravitropism?

Gravitropism is when the roots grow deeper into the soil with the force of gravity pushing it. Wow, I'm in elementary school and my first person ever asking me something. It's a pleasure answering your question. I wish you luck on what ever your doing.

What kind of gravitropism do roots display when they grow into the soil?

Positive gravitropism, as the roots grow towards gravity by growing downwards into the soil.


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

A change in the direction a plant grows in response to gravity?

This change in direction is called gravitropism. Plants respond to gravity by growing roots downward (positive gravitropism) and shoots upward (negative gravitropism). This mechanism helps plants optimize their growth by maintaining stable positions in relation to gravity.


How does gravity affect root growth?

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.


What does gravitropism affect?

Gravitropism affects the roots of a plant, so say when you turn it on its side, after a while its roots will make an "L" shape.
