Definition
In botany, growing or directed toward the apex or tip of a plant, especially along a stem.
Etymology
From Greek 'akron' (peak) + Latin 'petere' (to seek/move toward), literally meaning 'seeking the peak.'
Kelly Says
This term describes how some plants grow—flowers blooming from bottom to top along a stem is 'acropetal,' which is the opposite of how other plants work, showing that nature follows different growth strategies!
