Trees and most plants simply keep growing. There are no signals for these organisms to stop getting bigger. Many animals, humans included, only grow up to a certain size. Propose a mechanism by which humans only grow to a particular size. I’m not looking for a specific answer you can find somewhere, I simply want you to think about how you stop growing taller after a certain age. You will need to think about how you control growth from when you were one cell big to your current height.
