Everything organic is designed to take the path of least resistance towards its source of nourishment which in almost all cases, either directly or indirectly is the Sun! Since the Sun is up there and the only opposing force is gravity which pulls a body downwards the only two forces acting upon any body is linear. Therefore there is no reason for a plant or being to grow sidewards unless its path towards the source of nourishment is obstructed by anything.

Since right angles present absolute resistance, it cannot survive for long as nature is in a continuous state of change and that which offers absolute resistance cannot survive for long. For example if a flowing river is presented with a right angled obstruction, it will erode the points of absolute resistance till the obstruction erodes to a state where it offers the least resistance to the flow of the river.
