What Wikipedia says

Gravitropism (also known as geotropism) is a coordinated process of differential growth by a plant in response to gravity pulling on it. It also occurs in fungi. Gravity can be either artificial gravity or natural gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms.
