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.
Plants such as oak trees, pine trees, and cacti are known to grow deep roots to find scarce water. These plants have adapted to survive in arid environments by developing long root systems that can reach underground water sources or capture moisture deep in the soil.
Plants have the ability to self-pollinate or be pollinated by wind, insects, or other means. If pollen grains are cut off, these alternative methods can still facilitate fertilization and reproduction in plants, allowing them to survive and grow.
Roots help plants by anchoring them in the soil, providing stability and support. They also absorb water and nutrients from the soil that the plant needs to survive and grow. Additionally, roots store food reserves for the plant to use during periods of low nutrient availability.
They grow extremely long roots.
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.
Mangroves generally grow on the sea shorline. These plants are adapted to amphibian conditions. Their respiratory roots and viviparous fruits are special features to survive and propagate further.

Plants grow from the roots and seeds germinate in the roots as well.
Orchids, Bromeliads, moss, roots, and wooden vines. Even though there are some plants growing in trees many also grow in the understory and some that grow in the water.
