Gravitation effect on a plant's growth is called geotropism. It affects it by it's height,and sometimes affects how many flowers it produces. It causes roots to grow downward (positive geotropism) and stems/branches to grow upward (negative geotropism). So it gives plants an 'up' and 'down' or lateral directions to grow the correct structures in the right places.

Greavity have any effect on plants justify?

Gravity affects the growth of plants as well as their height, and that is why roots will always grow downwards into the soil, while heavy branches will always tend to bend downwards.


Does gravity effect the phenotype of a plant?

Perhaps you mean to ask if gravity "affects" the phenotype of a plant? In a word, yes. For instance, a tree typically grows in a vertical direction. If a pot that holds a young tree is tilted at an angle, the new growth will be vertical, although the existing trunk will be at an angle relative to the ground. Most plants that live on land can tell which way is up and respond to this as they grow. "To effect" something means to make it happen. Gravity does have effects on plant phenotypes, but gravity doesn't "effect" the phenotype of a plant.

What are tropisms and stimuli?

Tropisms are directional growth responses of plants to environmental stimuli, allowing them to adapt to their surroundings. Common types include phototropism, where plants grow toward light, and gravitropism, where roots grow downward in response to gravity. Stimuli are the external factors that trigger these responses, such as light, gravity, water, and touch. Together, tropisms and stimuli enable plants to optimize their growth and survival in varying conditions.

What is the meaning of geotripism?

Geotropism is the growth or movement of an organism in response to gravity. It can be positive (growth towards gravity) or negative (growth away from gravity). This phenomenon helps plants orient themselves for optimal growth and development.

How does color effect the growth of plants?

No, color does not effect the growth of plants. If the plant is yellow, it will grow fine. Now, if the plant is brown, that could mean it is dead.
