It maybe the case that there are two locomotions driving bulbs
deeper-- one of
contractile roots but a second one of action-reaction of leaves
shooting upwards.
And the factor of the soil involved because if a clay soil is involved
contractile roots
may have a tough time of getting deeper.




It is easier to pull a rope than push it.

Never studied physics, eh, Sean. Newton would not be calm when
someone calls one of his laws as pushing a rope rather than pulling.

And funny, because, maybe that is what a biologist thinks of when
reading Newton's law of every action has an equal and opposite
reaction, in that you, Sean thinks of a rope being pushed or pulled.

So definitely, biophysics was not one of your talents, Sean.
