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.

Where do the roots of a plant grow toward a source of water?

The roots of a plant grow toward a source of water through a process called hydrotropism. Specialized cells in the root tip can sense moisture levels in the soil and direct the roots to grow in the direction where water is present. This helps the plant to efficiently absorb water and nutrients from the soil.
