Roots grow downwards, showing a positive gravitropic response (towards gravity), while shoots grow upwards, showing a negative gravitropic response (away from gravity).
Plant roots grow downwards, positively responding to gravity (gravitrophic), while shoots grow upwards, negatively responding to gravity.
