Detailed explanation-1: -Gravitropism is the ability of plants to perceive and respond to the gravity vector and orient themselves accordingly.

Detailed explanation-2: -Gravitropism (also known as geotropism) is a coordinated process of differential growth by a plant in response to gravity pulling on it. It also occurs in fungi. Gravity can be either “artificial gravity” or natural gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gravitropism is an important plant growth response to the environment that directs shoots upward and roots downward, thereby allowing each organ to reach environments that are adequate for performance of their primary functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Explain to students that plants respond to different forces; sunflowers follow the light, pea tendrils grasp whatever they touch, and plants respond to gravity. This response to gravity is called Geotropism. Geotropism causes roots to grow downward, and stems and leaves to grow up.
