    Default Roots Aversion to Light

    Am I right in thinking that this root is turning away from the bright light?

    Yesterday morning it wasn't like this, it was still going straight. But it had been very cloudy and rainy during the past few days, and yesterday the sun came out during the afternoon. Although the window where this plant is sitting does not recieve direct sunlight it is still very bright because there are no houses or trees outside to block the light. Is this root telling me something? It is weird to see it happen in just a matter of one day. The root straight one morning and turned like that the next. The other root didn't do a thing, well, it couldn't because its already matured and its tip is missing, something chomped it off.
