Willow tree roots seek out water and have been known to even come out of the ground and grow into a container above ground that holds water. The process of the root going towards the water is called hydropatterning. Computed Tomography is allowing botanists to study this concept.

How do auxins cause hydrotropism?
Roots show positive hydrotropism and grow in the direction of water. This tropism causes problems in many cities where tree roots grow toward the drain pipes, and grow into the cracks, and plug up the drains. Hydrotropism causes plants to bend or turn toward water.
Do roots of a willow tree show adaptation as they grow toward their water source?
No. Adaptation is shown when differences between individuals may fit them better for their environment and so become more prevalent in the population. Growth of a plant towards a water source is called tropism.
In gravitropismin which direction do roots grow?
toward the sun light..................:)
Why do plant stems grow toward the light and the roots toward the ground?
If you grow the Stem in the dark then it wouldn't be healthy/wouldn't grow, and if you grow the Root not towards the ground then it will be wobbly and go ON the ground INSTEAD of going into the ground and wouldn't grow :)
Why do roots grow downward?
Plant roots are capable of performing this trick by sensing gravity (geotropism or gravitropism). In space they grow in random directions.
What do the roots of a willow tree show as the y grow toward a water source?
Mangrove...: )
Where do the roots of a plant grow toward a source of water?
Plant roots generally grow in the soil. In the case of aquatic plants, they are already in the water and do not need to grow toward it.

Why do you water the roots of plant rather than the leaves or other organs?
you water the roots rather than leaves and other organs because when u water the roots it makes the plant grow but if you water the leaves the plant wont grow. you water the roots rather than leaves and other organs because when u water the roots it makes the plant grow but if you water the leaves the plant wont grow.
Do willow trees only grow near water?
No, they can grow just about anywhere.
Why roots grow downwards?
Plant roots grow downwards to anchor the plant in the ground. The roots also seek out water and nutrients in the soil.
