Question
Chapter 37.3, Problem 3CC
Summary Introduction
To determine: The environmental signal used by roots to achieve downward growth.
Introduction: An organism’s response to an external or an internal stimulus is known as its behavior. Plant movement is one of the examples of plant behaviour. Chemical signals which are transported within the body of a plant are known as plant hormones and these assist the plant in responding to the external stimuli. Gravitropism and phototropism are two types of plant movement in which the plant responds to the external sources of light.

Is there any other environmental signal that roots could use to achieve downward growth?
From an agricultural perspective, describe two advantages of vegetative propagation.
You could prevent most of a plant's secondary growth by:
Destroying the phloem portion of the vascular cambium
It would require the combination of at least two of these
Removing the apical or basal meristems
Destroving the cork cambium
Destroying the xylem portion of the vascular cambium
