Solution

The correct option is B False
Geotropism is also known as Gravitropism. It is a phenomenon in which growth movement by a plant turns in response to gravity. Roots show positive geotropism as they grow towards the gravity while stems show negative geotropism as they grow upwards. Hence, root shows greater growth on lower side as compared to upper side in positive geotropism.
Thus, the correct answer is option B.
