What is meant by apogeotropic ? Why Roots become apgeotropic due to ethylene?

Dear student.

Movement or growth away from the earth (gravity) is known as apogeotropic movement.

Ethylene has the ability to nullify geotropism as a result of which root tip doesn't perceive geotropic stimulus. This makes root apogeotropic.
