Plants do grow in the "dark."
There are 2 phases to photosynthesis: a light phase and a dark phase. The dark phase does not necessarily mean it happens in the dark but it CAN occur during the dark. It is the metabolism of the compounds made during the light phase, the phase requiring sunlight, of photosynthesis.
Plants held in the dark too long build up cell compounds from the normal cellular pathways and create a situation called "inhibition" in which the accumulation of the cellular metabolics, the by-product, build until it causes the cell to stop normal functioning and either dies or must alter the chemistry in a manner to move those by-products out of the cell.

Do Woody plants lack secondary growth?
Primary growth is responsible for elongating the plant. In woody plants, primary growth is then followed by secondary growth which allows the plant stem to increase in thickness or girth.
What happens to stems of plants placed on their sides?

What type of plants grow quickly?
Annual (or seasonal) plants are among the fast growing plant types. They complete one growth cycle within 3 months (from seed through flower). In general bamboo plants (there are various species) are the fastest growing plants (aside from annuals), although they take a longer period to complete a single growth cycle - most of their growth is vegetative (height as well as spread) and not much emphasis is placed on the production of seed.
