∙ 15y agoEach plant is adapted to live in its environment. One adaptation is the type of root system the plant has. Certain plants are meant to grow in certain areas. The root system determines where a plant will grow and adapt best to the environment because it is an adaptation.

∙ 12y agoThe plant itself pushes its roots outward in different directions. The plant can sense a water source and grow roots in that direction. Also, the roots can grow in any direction, but rarely they grow up because of gravity.

In which direction do plants roots grow?
The roots of most plants grow towards the pull of gravity.
Do the roots of a plant always go downward?
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 determines how plants grow?
Climate?
Why the roots of the cactus plant and the hickory tree grow the way they do?
shallow roots extend away from a plant long; thinck roots that grow deep
Does geotropism determine the direction of growth?
Yes, geotropism DOES determine the direction of growth. Negative geotropism is when a section of the plant grows upwards. For example, stems grow upward. Positive geotropism is when a section of the plant grows downwards. In this case, a plant's roots would be the perfect example.
In which direction do plants roots grow?
The roots of most plants grow towards the pull of gravity.
In gravitropism which direction do roots grow?
Downward
What direction do roots on a conifer tree grow?
Outwards.
How does roots grow when the direction of gravity changes?
gravatropism
In gravitropism which direction do the roots grow?
Downward
In gravitropismin which direction do roots grow?

A tree is near a pond Which direction are its roots most likely growing?
the roots would grow toward the trees to get its food and water
Does the direction seeds are change the direction its roots grow?
Well, roots will always grow down due to geotropism. It is caused by the statocytes in the root cap. They sense the force of gravity and grow down according to it. But if the root does not have a root cap, then the plant will not necesarily grow down. And if the seed is layed on a flat place like a counter, then the roots will grow any which-way. I did an experiment on this for the science fair. I found it at: http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/PlantBio_p034.shtml
What determines the direction a seedling will grow?
yes Light has more effect. light would affect the direction of foliar growth, the direction of root growth is determined by gravity (with a few exeptions)
A tree is growing near a pond which direction are the roots growing?
They grow toward the pond in order to get food and water.
What determines which plants grow to where?
The type of climate in a given area determines which plant will grow there.
What determines which plants to grow?
The amount of precipitation determines which plants to grow where.
