Competitive pressure. To get the energy that the sun provides, plants need to be able to "see" it. If another plant grows on top of the first plant, it will block the energy and the first plant will not grow as well. Natural selection would take care of the rest... those plants that can see the sun (those growing towards the sun and those that are taller) will prosper.
