Question

A plant’s roots grow in a downward direction in response to what force?

Answer 1

Answer:

It is essential for roots to grow down so they can explore the soil and maximise their water uptake.

Answer 2

Answer:

Gravitational Force

Explanation:

The force that attracts everything to the Earth's central point is known as the Gravitational Force, so it is obvious that this force is the active reason behind roots of a plant growing downwards.
