What do plants reach toward to grow?

Sunlight
Plants need sunlight to make their food, so they lean and grow toward the light. Young sunflowers even turn their heads to follow the Sun across the sky.

Plants reach toward sunlight because they need it to make food through photosynthesis, so a sunflower in a pot slowly leans toward the brightest window it can find.

Darkness is the opposite of what plants seek, since they cannot make food without light, and music has no effect on which way a plant grows.

Young sunflowers famously turn their heads to track the Sun's path across the sky, a behavior called heliotropism, though mature sunflowers settle facing east.
