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