The correct Answer is:
To determine the correct answer to the question regarding the nature of the primary root, we can analyze the options provided based on the characteristics of root growth. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Root Growth**: - Roots grow downwards into the soil, which is opposite to the direction of stem growth that goes upwards. 2. **Geotropism**: - **Positive Geotropism**: This refers to growth in the direction of gravitational pull. Since roots grow downwards towards the gravitational force, they exhibit positive geotropism. - **Negative Geotropism**: This refers to growth away from the gravitational pull, which is characteristic of stems. 3. **Hydrotropism**: - **Positive Hydrotropism**: This indicates growth towards areas of higher water concentration. Roots typically grow towards moisture found in the soil, showing positive hydrotropism. - **Negative Hydrotropism**: This indicates growth away from water concentration, which is again characteristic of stems. 4. **Analyzing the Options**: - **Option 1: Positively Geotropic** - Correct, as roots grow towards gravity. - **Option 2: Positively Hydrotropic** - Correct, as roots grow towards moisture. - **Option 3: Negatively Geotropic** - Incorrect, as this describes stem behavior. - **Option 4: Negatively Hydrotropic** - Incorrect, as this also describes stem behavior. 5. **Conclusion**: - The primary root is both positively geotropic and positively hydrotropic. Therefore, the correct answer is **1 and 2**. ### Final Answer: The primary root is: **1. Positively geotropic and 2. Positively hydrotropic**.
