Plants grow toward the sun. The constant movement of the earth makes the sun appear to move around, thus causing the plants to equal out straight. This is why you see trees that are on the side of a mountain at an angle instead of straight up. The sun disappears behind the mountain and the plant stops growing in a specific direction.
