# data[].attributes.body
Defintion:
The vascular tissue in plants that conducts sugars and other metabolic products downward from the leaves.

# data[].attributes.body
Defintion:
The growth of the parts of plants with respect to the force of gravity. The upward growth of plant shoots is an instance of negative geotropism; the downward growth of roots is positive geotropism.

A plant's roots growing down and a plants stem growing towards a light source

# data[].attributes.body
Definition:
The orientation of a plant or other organism in response to light (either towards or away from the light source) allowing the plant to maximize its exposure to light energy.

A plant growing towards the light source.

# data[].attributes.body
Definition:
The growth of a plant in a particular direction in response to gravity helping plants grow roots into the soil where they can soak up water and nutrients needed for the plant to survive.

A plant's roots growing downwards.
