Humans grow too, yet we are pulled down.

Plants, like most living organisms, grow by cellular reproduction. This replicates cells, making a plant larger.

A hormone called auxin stimulates cell growth. The hormone is gravotropic, which means in plant shoots, it stimulates cell growth upwards, the opposite way in which gravity is forcing the plant.
