Question

Stems are positively geotropic while roots are negatively geotropic.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is B False

Geotropism means growth in response to the gravitational force. Stems grow away from the ground that is opposite to the direction in which the gravitational force is exerted whereas roots grow toward the ground. Therefore, stems are negatively geotropic while roots are positively geotropic.

Hence, the given statement is false.
