In general roots grow down and leaves and stems grow up. This is determined by gravity. If there are good growing conditions such as water, oxygen, temperature and nutrients in the soil that favor the development of the roots, the roots will grow more in that area. Roots do not sniff out conditions, they have to arrive on their own and will then "relate" to those conditions. Deep watering is beneficial because the soil further from the surface will dry out more slowly on dry days. From my experience plant actually grow best when they are watered frequently in small amounts, of course if for any reason you can't water for sometime the plants will suffer, so deep watering is more secure.

Where do the roots of a plant grow toward a source of water?

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.
