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

Gravitropism is also known as what?
geotropism
How much leaf area does a plant need to survive?
it need 34567ft lol
How do vacuoles in plant cells help keep the plant upright?
the vacuoles in plant cells support the plant because the vacuole holds large amounts of water thus suporting the plant
How might the segmented body of arthropods help them survive?
It might help them survive because the segments allow flexiblity and mobility to get away from predators or chase prey. And the segments also mean that the strength of the exoskeleton is not comprimised
Why couldn't humans exist if there were no animals on earth?
Humans couldn't survive on earth if there aren't any animals, because humans cannot live purely on a vegetarian diet. Plus, if there were no animals, most plant species might die off because animals help most plants grow and pollinate and such.
What is the growth of the plant part towards the earth called?
It is called geotropism.
What is Geo-Tropism?
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.
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.
Which of the following indicates a plant's response to gravity?
geotropism
How do bright flowers a sweet scent and nectar help a plant survive?
They do not help a plant survive. They help a plant reproduce by attracting pollinating animals.
Do salmons help any plant or animals survive?
do salmons help any plant or animals survive
How fast growth of plant help it to survive?
how do deep and wide root system of plant help it to survive
What is a 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.
What is the importance of positive phototropism?
Positive gravitropism (plants grow up) benefits the plant because it has a better root structure. It is an adaption of plants to gravitropism which has a weak root system, however it is beneficial in certain areas for plants to be gravitropes.
What does geotropism cause a plants roots to do?
the auxins in the plant and the gravity
Is watermelon a geotropism plant?
Test it out and you'll find out! Have Fun
Do plants grow better on direct sunlight limited sunlight are no sun light?
Direct Sunlight, but they can survive in limited with an adaptation called geotropism where the plant grows towards the light
