In zero gravity, how do the roots know to go down and not up or sideways? I wonder whether they were grown under growlights or direct in a window facing the sun?
Both interesting articles , if a bit short of detail?

"There is a lot of work being done in space agriculture from a nutritional and supplemental perspective, where astronauts are growing a full menu in zero-gravity.
