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