How does darkness effect plant growth?

Darkness prevents photosynthesis from occurring, which is the process through which plants create energy from light. Without light, plants cannot produce the food and energy they need to grow. Prolonged darkness can lead to poor growth, weak stems, and yellowing leaves in plants.


Where do the roots of a plant grow toward a source of water?

The roots of a plant grow toward a source of water through a process called hydrotropism. Specialized cells in the root tip can sense moisture levels in the soil and direct the roots to grow in the direction where water is present. This helps the plant to efficiently absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
