Plant roots are capable of performing this trick by sensing gravity (geotropism or gravitropism). In space they grow in random directions.
Roots get water from the oil
Apparently yes they do. Most plant roots grow to the sides..that is if they don't die.
a dandelion is a tap root which goes down ward in to the ground
Gravitropism (also known as geotropism) is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms. Wikipedia

Roots push downward into the earth in search of water and nutrients.
Downward
Downward

Because they need to anchor down the plant.
When roots are blocked from going random they just stop growing.
palm tree roots grow mostly downward so they are not likely to damage your pool
No, plants do not always grow downward. Plant roots always grow downward due to positive gravitropism or positive geotropism. Plant shoots always grow upwards due to negative gravitropism or negative geotropism.
The answer is yes because once blocked by something where else does the root have to go but everywhere! So yes, roots grow in random directions when blocked.

A tropism in which the roots of plant grow downward, in the direction of gravity
