Geotropism is the growth response of a plant to gravity. It's a crucial process that allows plants to orient themselves correctly for optimal growth and resource acquisition.
There are two main types of geotropism:
* Positive geotropism: Growth towards the center of the Earth (e.g., roots growing downwards).
* Negative geotropism: Growth away from the center of the Earth (e.g., shoots growing upwards).
