Answer :Roots

Explanation: Gravitropism is based on the redistribution of auxin in the elongation zone of the developing root. If the root is not growing vertically downward, then auxin accumulates in the lower parts of the root, inhibiting cell elongation and causing the root to bend in the direction of gravity.
