geotropism is the ability of the plant to grow in he direction of gravity so if there isn't sufficient water available the roots of the plant due to geotropism go deeperinto the the earth so as to obtain some amount of water which will help them to survive

Geotropism is a plant growth or movement in response to gravity. Upward growth of the plant's parts against gravity is called negative geotropism, whilst downward growth of roots is called positive geotropism.

Gravitropism is a response to gravity. And the plant roots will follow the gravity also you cannot change the place where the roots will grow also if you will put it on the opposite side of the gravity it will also grow down.


Does geotropism determine the direction of growth?

Yes, geotropism DOES determine the direction of growth. Negative geotropism is when a section of the plant grows upwards. For example, stems grow upward. Positive geotropism is when a section of the plant grows downwards. In this case, a plant's roots would be the perfect example.
