Plant roots grow whatever direction is necessary to acquire the largest quantity of water most easily. For example, a tree in the desert will grow roots very, very deep to get to the resources of water there. However, if you constantly water a tree, its roots will grow sideways just below the surface of the soil (which, by the way, can cause it to be unstable in high wind, and even blow over).
What else can I help you with?
Why do a plants roots always grow downward and its shoots always grow upward?
as you prabably already know, plants feed souly off of soil, (dirt), and the roots will always be trying to gain more and more nutritions from the dirt, and will keep trying to go deeper. (THAT ABOVE IS NOT POSTED BY ME) *plants are gravitrophic meaning that the roots will always grow towards gravity and to of course absorb the nutrients, but there are some plants that do grow outside of of the soil like in pots and they still grow downward.
Can you use a sentence with the word Gravitropism?
Is gravitropism why the seed is growing towards gravity?Yes gravitropism is why the roots go towards the center of the Earth.
What would happen if a plant didn't have roots?
W/o roots the plant would be unable to gather water and nutrients and would eventually die.It would not be able to absorb wate and mineral and eventually will die.Plant roots will grow back just give it time and water. Plants will try to survive and have the ability to do what god gave it to do. If to severe then it might not be able to be saved. Try this trick- sprinkle some rooting hormone around the roots or mix with some water and put around the roots. You might be surprised!
What happens if you take a plant and tie two wet sponges around the roots and you hang it up side down in a window?
I hypothesize that the water will go down by gravity and water the plant and the plant will get sunlight by the sun at the window. I think I did a similar experiment to this except it was with a plastic bag.
How are roots stems and leaves connected?
As with all living things, plants are made up of cells. In plants, the cells are rigid, containing a cell wall. Where cell walls aren't present in animal cells, the cell wall in plant cells keeps the plant rigid, as well as connecting the different parts of the plant together. In various other less evolved plants, including ferns, are interconnected to from their leaves, roots, and stems by a vascular system of tubes.
How will the roots of the growing bean seed plant respond to the force of gravity?
Roots of a growing bean seed plant will exhibit positive gravitropism, meaning they will grow downward in response to the force of gravity. This allows the roots to anchor the plant into the soil and seek out nutrients and water necessary for growth.

Why is it important to make sure enough dirt is kept around the roots when transplanting a plant?
If enough dirt is kept around the roots of a plant, the roots do not have to work as hard to go through soil such as clay. It preserves the integrity of a plant until it has time to adjust to the transplanting.
Do roots grow in random directions when they are blocked from growing downward?
The answer is yes because once blocked by something where else does the root have to go but everywhere! So yes, roots grow in random directions when blocked.
How far into the soil do plants grow roots?
A plant's roots go as deep as the C Horizon.
How does water go into a plant?
Through the roots, but some plants obtain humidity through their leaves.
Where does water go when a plant is watered?
water saturates the dirt and is sucked into the plants through its roots
Why do roots go downward?
I am guesing that because when you poor water into soil it runs downwards to the bottom of the dirt and the roots kind of like chase it but that's only my guess its probably not right but you should search it up any way
Why did the plant go to the hairdresser?
The plant went to the hairdresser because it had split ends and needed a trim to keep growing healthy.
How roots take in water?
Well,roots have tiny pores,so when water goes through the soil and reaches the roots,the pores absorb the water which circulate and go to other parts of the plant.

Where does water go when a plant is well watered?
water saturates the dirt and is sucked into the plants through its roots
