Answer 1

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