Okay, well there is tropism and stimulus. The stimulus can be gravity, light, and touch. So it depends... If there is a window above the plant and it is reaching upwards towards it... then it would be light, and the plant's response would be reaching upward towards it.

How would the growth of a plant be affected if it were lying on its side?
The plant will still grow upward away from gravity
Can pumpkin plant vines grow upward?
We had a pumpkin plant. It didn't really grow up, but it did grow outward. If you plan on planting pumpkins, make sure to have a lot of space.
What causes the seed coat to crack open allowing a new plant to grow?
water pressure inside the seed coat
How does gravity effect a plant's growth?
Gravitation effect on a plant's growth is called geotropism. It affects it by it's height,and sometimes affects how many flowers it produces. It causes roots to grow downward (positive geotropism) and stems/branches to grow upward (negative geotropism). So it gives plants an 'up' and 'down' or lateral directions to grow the correct structures in the right places.
What hormone causes plants to grow toward light?
Auxin is a chemical which makes plants grow faster.Specifically, the chemical in question can be described as a plant hormone or phytohormone to regulate growth. The terms comes from the Greek word αυξειν (auxein) for "to grow, to increase." Auxin may occur naturally -- often in cooperation with the plant hormone cytokinin -- or synthetically.
What do plants grow upward?
plants grow upward, because they are attracted to sunlight. This causes them to follow the light and grow closer to it. For instance if you put a growing plant in a pitch black room, except for, say a flashlight, to its right side for a certain amount of time the plant will grow to its right side.
Explain how plants or plant parts grow toward light or grow upward?
organisms
If a plant is tipped on its side the shoots will likely?
If a plant is tipped on its side, the shoot will still grow upward.

Why is it better to plant the cut pieces with the eye pointing upward?
to make it easier to grow
What plant hormone causes to grow rapidly?
Gibberellin
What two organs of a plant interact to cause seedlings to grow upward?
Your plant is reaching for more light, place plant in a brighter area.
Why doesnt seven up help a plant grow?
The sugar in 7-up causes the plant problems
Why do bean seeds grow upward?
They grow upward because the growing stem has the ability to sense up and down, largely through bending of the stem in response to gravity and then grows faster on the inside of the bend and slower on the outside of the bend, causing the bend to straighten out and grow upward. Once in view of light they grow toward light, which is also usually up not down. These are evolutionary adaptations to help the plant get the energy it needs to survive after the "food" in the seed is consumed.
How layering is done?
Plant layering is usually done by forcing a section of the plant's stem or branches back into the ground. This allows that stem to grow upward and create a new plant.
Where does all the energy that influeces weather and causes plant to grow on earth come from?
The Sun.
