Why do we need to give min-height: 100vh; to just set the flex-grow property as well, As i tried giving the flex-grow property it was not working any reasons behind that? 2) Flex-grow property goes only along Main Axis right?

Without specifying the min-height as 100vh, the row still grows in relation to the other containers, but it doesn't grow enough to push the footer down. If you don't specify a height at all, then everything is going to be at its minimum height to fit the content. Once a height (or min-height) is specified, then if items need to grow to reach that height, the flex-grow property indicates the amount each element grows in relation to the others. And yes, flex-grow only applies to the main axis.
