What is it called when roots and steam grow in a direction that you determined?

When roots and stems grow in a specific direction due to environmental stimuli, it is referred to as "tropism." Roots typically exhibit positive gravitropism, growing downward in response to gravity, while stems often show negative gravitropism, growing upward. Additionally, plants can exhibit phototropism, where stems grow toward light.

What is a plants response to gravity?

Plants use gravity to help determine the direction in which to grow their roots and stems. This response is known as gravitropism - roots grow downward with gravity, while stems grow upward against gravity, a process mediated by plant hormones called auxins.
