Differential geometry studies the geometry of curves, surfaces and higher dimensional smooth manifolds. For submanifolds in Euclidean spaces, the position vector is the most natural geometric object. Position vectors find applications throughout mathematics, engineering and natural sciences. The purpose of this survey article is to present six research topics in differential geometry in which the position vector plays a very important role. In addition to this, we explain the link between position vectors with mechanics, dynamics, and D’Arcy Thompson's law of natural growth in biology.
