How does lightning effect the plants around the area in which it has hit?
it can burn the plants and it can also give off harmful chemicals to the plant. It can also burn and die if it does not have special care to it's self. Wow... Lightning turns nitrogen into a usable form for human consumption through plants. Lightning converts the nitrogen in the air from a gaseous form to a usable form for plants. This process is called "fixation". It does not burn plants or cause harmful chemical reactions of any kind.

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 meaning of gravitropism?
