Phototropism

In this type of tropism, the roots grow away from sunlight, but the rest of the plant grows toward sunlight.

That's why it's called "phototropism", it's directed towards sunlight.

The sentence is right: results in plants with roots growing away from the sunlight with the rest of the plant typically growing toward the sunlight.

Answer: Phototropism.
