to get the full surface area of their leaves facing the sun, so they can't photosynthesis as much as possible.
Growth towards light is regulated by hormones called auxins. Auxins stimulate growth in the area of the plant that they are found and are produced by the tip of a stem. In sunlight they break down. As such there are more auxins on the shaded side of the plant. This will cause more growth on one side of the plant which will make it grow towards the light.
Tree branches grow straight up towards the sky due to a process called phototropism, where the branches grow towards the direction of sunlight. This helps the tree maximize its exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis, which is essential for its growth and survival.

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.
Yes. Sunlight is a necessity for plants to perform photosynthesis which is how they make food (glucose). This glucose is needed for the plant so survive and more is needed to help the plant grow. Without the solar energy from the sun plants can't live or grow. Also, if a plant does not receive enough sunlight, it will not grow as much as it would otherwise. However, too much sunlight can also harm plants. It depends on the particular plant as to how much sunlight is needed.
They don't actually grow towards the sunlight. As sunlight hits the stem of a plant, the side away from the sunlight, that gets less light, grows faster than the well lit side (or the well lit side grows less than the other side). The faster growth on one side makes the plant tilt in the direction of the sunlight.
Direct Sunlight, but they can survive in limited with an adaptation called geotropism where the plant grows towards the light

Probably not because plants need sunlight to grow.
Carrots grow upside down because they follow their root systems which always grow towards the soil. The leaves of carrots grow toward the sunlight to direct it to the rest of the plant.

Phototropism
Plants typically grow towards a window facing west because it provides the most sunlight during the afternoon. Plants need sunlight for photosynthesis, which is why they tend to lean towards windows to maximize their exposure to light.
Sunflowers grown in full sunlight will grow straight and tall. Leaning is caused by either the plant growing towards more sunlight (heliotropism) or a mature seed head weight the plant down slightly on one side.
