From Wikipedia:

The "dependent variable" represents the output or effect, or is tested to see if it is the effect. The "independent variables" represent the inputs or causes, or are tested to see if they are the cause.

So therefore, your dependent variable is the growth of the plant, while the independent is the time of day.
