The phenomenon where the roots of seedlings grow straight down and the stems grow straight up is explained by gravitropism. Roots exhibit positive gravitropism, responding to gravity by growing downward, while stems display negative gravitropism, growing upward against the pull of gravity. This adaptive behavior ensures that roots can access water and nutrients in the soil, while stems can reach sunlight for photosynthesis.
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.
There are some plants with tap roots that grow straight down into the soil, such as oak trees or radishes. However, bushes typically have a fibrous root system that spreads out horizontally rather than growing straight down like a tap root.
Plum trees have roots that are mostly 12 inches to 18 inches deep and go to the drip line. A few of the roots will go about five feet down to anchor the tree.
Taproot systems can be difficult to uproot due to their deep, main root that extends straight down into the soil. This main root anchors the plant securely and may require significant effort to remove. Additionally, taproots can have lateral roots branching off, further securing the plant in the ground.
due to the roots which go down deep in the soil.
To reach water deep down
due to the roots which go down deep in the soil.
A deep hole dug straight down is called a borehole. Boreholes are commonly used for mineral exploration, groundwater monitoring, and scientific research.
Cactus are a desert plant, and so need to send their roots deep down for their food.
2-4 inches below surface, roots faced down
use muratic acid to bring down Ph and TA
Broccoli roots go down at least six inches. But prepare the ground down to twelve inches. Broccoli needs good drainage and lots of fertilizer. You can use granulated fertilizer or manure.

No it is a root that is deep and large going almost straight down on most trees.
Prunus are not deep rooters they usually put down one tap root if the soil conditions allow the rest spread out to just beyond the canopy cover.
