Most plants grow up, or away from gravity. Even vining plants will first grow upwards before they grow too long and start to vine.

Why do a plants roots always grow downward and its shoots always grow upward?
as you prabably already know, plants feed souly off of soil, (dirt), and the roots will always be trying to gain more and more nutritions from the dirt, and will keep trying to go deeper. (THAT ABOVE IS NOT POSTED BY ME) *plants are gravitrophic meaning that the roots will always grow towards gravity and to of course absorb the nutrients, but there are some plants that do grow outside of of the soil like in pots and they still grow downward.
