Answer:

Roots demonstrate positive gravitropism because they grow in the direction of gravity. Plant shoots demonstrate negative gravitropism since they grow in the opposite direction of gravity. Gravity is sensed by specialized cells called statocytes, which have statoliths that sink inside the cell.
