The pineapple is a herbaceous perennial with long sword-like leaves arranged in a spiral around a central stem and a terminal inflorescence. Leaves may or may not bear marginal spines depending upon variety and cultural practices. Adult plants may be 3 to 6 feet (0.9-1.8 m) high and wide.
Gravitropism dictates upward shoot growth, as illustrated by the trees shown at the end of the corn field. The corn plants, on the other hand, were recently prostrated by a heavy storm (a). However, in a few hours, their shoots curved upward, as a result of gravitropism (b). At the end of the 19th century, Ciesielski (1872) and Darwin (1880)demonstrated that a structure at the tip of the roots, the cap, is essential for root gravitropism.
