The growth response of plants or organisms at an angle to the direction of gravity.
From Greek 'dia-' (through) and 'geotropism' (earth-turning), the '-ism' suffix indicating a process or condition.
Diageotropism is why plant roots don't just grow straight down—they spread horizontally too, following a smart biological program that maximizes their search for nutrients!
