The root grows downward due to gravitropism, a plant's response to gravity, while the shoot grows upward towards light through phototropism, a plant's response to light. These directional growth patterns enable the root to anchor the plant and absorb water and nutrients from the soil, while the shoot reaches for sunlight to undergo photosynthesis for energy production.

Why do root grows out of seed leave before the shoot grows out?
If the stem and shoot were to grow before the roots the plant will fall over and die. It has to root so that the plant will have support and food to grow up. Since root root has to absorb water and other nutrient for growth and development, its emergence from the seed before shoot is essential.
When seeds germinate which part of the plant will grow first?
The first part of a plant to grow is the root. The mesocotyle of the seed can be differentiated into epicotyle and hypocotyle. The hypocotyle is the part that grows into the root system and the epicotyle is that which grows into the shoot system. After the basic differentiation of the cells of the mesocotyle into those of hypocotyle and epicotyle, the root begins to form from the hypocotyle. It absorbs the initial essential minerals reqiured by the development of the rest of the parts i.e. the shoot.
What is the other name of baby root and baby shoot?
The other name for baby root is radicle and the other name for baby shoot is plumule.
Where do the roots of a potato grow faster in the light or dark?
Potato roots grow faster in the dark. In the absence of light, potatoes prioritize root growth to seek out nutrients and water. Light exposure can inhibit root growth as the plant focuses on photosynthesis and shoot development.
How does gravity affect bean seeds planted in four different directions and how will this affect farmers?
Gravity affects seed germination by altering the placement of plant hormones which affect the direction the first root grows and the direction the shoot grows. Gravity pulls some hormones downward which cause roots to grow down while the shortage of that hormone plus the presence of other hormones cause the shoot to grow upward. It doe not matter which way the seed is planted, this will not have an effect of the developing seedling.
Does a shoot or a root grow first in a broad bean?
first the root then the shoot
In corn seeds what sprouts first the root or shoot?
* The root and shoot of a corn seed is the "sprout" so the answer would be that they grow together as they are one and the same. not true. the root always comes out first in all plants.
Do roots grow in random directions when they are blocked from growing downward?
The answer is yes because once blocked by something where else does the root have to go but everywhere! So yes, roots grow in random directions when blocked.
What order do the parts of a plant appear when seeds start to grow?
After the seed begins to grow... Root Stem/Shoot Leaves Buds/Flowers
Why do root grows out of seed leave before the shoot grows out?
If the stem and shoot were to grow before the roots the plant will fall over and die. It has to root so that the plant will have support and food to grow up. Since root root has to absorb water and other nutrient for growth and development, its emergence from the seed before shoot is essential.
Do taproots divide into many smaller roots and grow out in all directions?
No. This is the characteristic feature of Fibrous root system

How is the shoot apical meristem different from the root apical meristem?
The main difference betweem root and shoot apical meristem is that in case of root apical meristem dermatogen and periblem fuses at apex and give rise to calyptrogen which is responsible for the formation of root cap
What is the segment of a shoot that is grafted onto the root stock?
The segment of a shoot that is grafted onto the root stock is called the scion. This part contains the desired plant variety that will grow and develop on the root stock. The scion is selected for its specific characteristics, such as fruit quality or flower color.
Will a piece of a banana tree live?
As a banana is a herb a side shoot with some root on it will grow given proper care.
What are the two main organ systems in a plant?
Shoot System: Everything above the ground (stem, leaves, flower, fruits) Root System: Everything Underground (Roots)
Why do a plants roots always grow downwards and its shoots always grow upwards?
the stimulus in this case is gravity .shoots grow up,away from gravity.roots grow down,towards gravity.again auxin control this growth.if a plant is put its side the auxin builds up on the lower side of the shoot and the root.in the shoot the auxin stimulates it to grow moreon the lower sidethis causes the shoot to bend upwardsin the root the auxin also builds up on the lower side.but Ayxin slows down growth in a rootso tht upper side of the root grows quicker than the lower sidethe root bends downwards
