So many wrong answers about “seeds sensing gravity”

Its the heat they are attracted to. The top of the soil is warmer than the bottom, so the seeds go towards this. Anyone that’s tried to grow multiple weed plants with one grow light can tell you the plants furthest from the light will start leaning towards the light because it’s warmer.

Heat is the transfer of energy from one object to another, so of course when that little tip of green comes out of the seed, its going to follow where the most energy(heat) is.
