This paper proposed a novel bio-inspired optimizer, namely the root system growth algorithm (RSGA), which adopts the root foraging, memory and communication, and auxin-regulated mechanisms of the root system. When tested against benchmark functions, the RSGA markedly outperforms the CMA-ES, PSO, GA, and DE algorithms in terms of accuracy, robustness and convergence speed.
