The correct stimulus that describes the response of the plant, where the stem grows upward and the roots grow downward, is gravity. This response is known as gravitropism, where the roots exhibit positive gravitropism (growing toward gravity) and the stems exhibit negative gravitropism (growing away from gravity).
