List of plants that have roots that only grow down?
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.
What are special tubes that carry water and minerals from the roots to the leaves in a plant?
The tubes are called conductive tissues. There are two main groups: Xylem which transports water from the roots to the stems and leaves, and Phloem which transports the products of photosynthesis (sugars)primarily from the leaves to the rest of the plant
Why do roots grow toward the seed?
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.
In a pot of seedlings the roots of every seedling grow straight down and the stem of every seedling grows straight up. Which of these explains this?
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.
What are carry fluids from the roots to the leaves of vascular plants?
Xylem are small tubes in vascular plants that carry water up from the roots to its leaves etc
How do you tell which side of the seed is up or down before you plant it?
It doesn't actually matter which side is up and which side is down, either way it will grow properly. ANSWER The seed knows which way is up and which is down. Have you ever seen the roots grow above growund while the leaves are below ground?
Why do you water the roots of plant rather than the leaves or other organs?
you water the roots rather than leaves and other organs because when u water the roots it makes the plant grow but if you water the leaves the plant wont grow. you water the roots rather than leaves and other organs because when u water the roots it makes the plant grow but if you water the leaves the plant wont grow.
What is the effect of geotropism on root growth?
helps the roots grow down and the stalk grow up

Can you grow tomatoes upside down vs the traditional method?
You can try but the plant will try to grow upwards. All plants grow up and their roots grow down. This is coded in their DNA.
Do Roots grow up and stems grow down?
No, roots generally grow downwards into the soil to absorb water and nutrients, while stems grow upwards above ground to support the plant and transport water and nutrients from the roots to the rest of the plant.
Will a chopped down banana tree with no roots still grow if it is replanted and taken care of?
New banana trees grow from the roots of the old banana trees. After a banana tree bears fruit it dies. Then its roots send up several new banana trees. The chopped down part of the tree will probably not grow. The roots will probably send up new trees. You can dig up one of those and get a new tree.
Which part of the plant will come out first from seeds?
When germination starts a green stem will push itself up into the surface. It will then grow leaves while growing roots.

A chemical that is energized by photosynthesis
