Well, roots will always grow down due to geotropism. It is caused by the statocytes in the root cap. They sense the force of gravity and grow down according to it. But if the root does not have a root cap, then the plant will not necesarily grow down. And if the seed is layed on a flat place like a counter, then the roots will grow any which-way. I did an experiment on this for the science fair. I found it at: http://www.sciencebuddies.org/science-fair-projects/project_ideas/PlantBio_p034.shtml
