The advantages of a plant with roots that grow down are that it helps to stabilize the plant and to hold it in place. It also allows the plant to find water, which is not always close to the surface.
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.
No, not at all.
Examples of plants that exhibit positive geotropism include roots, which grow downward into the soil, and stems, which grow upward towards the light. Negative geotropism is seen in plants like vines, which grow away from the force of gravity, and in some flowering plants, whose pollen tubes grow upwards to reach the ovules.
Positive gravitropism, where the plant roots grow in response to gravity by growing downward. This helps the roots anchor the plant and seek out nutrients and water in the soil.
Taproots are roots that grow straight down deep into the ground. They anchor the plant and help it access deep water sources and nutrients. Examples of plants with taproots include carrots and dandelions.

Yes they do grow down, they can also create 'suckers' that are self rooting side plants
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.
The roots of plants predominantly grow downward, towards the soil.
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.
You can try but the plant will try to grow upwards. All plants grow up and their roots grow down. This is coded in their DNA.
The water won't reach the roots.
The roots of a plant will always grow down. This is to help it find water. The stem grows upwards to find light.
Ginseng
from roots
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.
