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.
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).
Succulent leaves grow roots to propagate new plants through a process called propagation. When a leaf is removed from the parent plant and placed in soil, it can develop roots from the base of the leaf. These roots allow the leaf to absorb water and nutrients, eventually forming a new plant.
The roots of plants predominantly grow downward, towards the soil.
Not all plants have roots (eg phytoplankton) and while some plants do grow form their roots (eg grasses), most plants do not grow from their roots but from their apical growing tip.
No. Plants are designed for the roots to grow in the direction of gravity and the leaves to grow against gravity. A plant grown upside down will adapt by curving its stem upwards again.
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.

Plants grow from the roots and seeds germinate in the roots as well.
Yes,new plants grow from the roots of potato, sweet potato, ginger and turmeric.
Most plants have roots that grow both vertically and horizontally to varying degrees. However, taproots such as carrots and radishes primarily grow downwards, as do fibrous roots of grasses. Deep-rooted plants like oak trees and dandelions also have roots that grow predominantly downwards.
(meaning: tropo; turning, bending; geo, earth) The innate condition in plants to grow their roots toward gravity. The same happens with the leaves that grow towards the sun; this instead is called phototropism.
