The vine would grow upwards B. to increase light exposure. In rain forests, the canopy is very dense. This means that the amount of sunlight falling on the forest floor is not significant. Therefore, vines have adapted to climb vertical surfaces during their growth and attain greater heights in order to receive sunlight to carry out photosynthesis.
