Solution

In an anatropous ovule (the most common type), the body of the ovule is completely inverted (turned through $180^\circ$) on its stalk, the funicle.
As a result the micropyle lies close to the funicle and the hilum and points downward, towards the placenta, while the chalaza is at the top.
[add image: anatropous ovule with funicle, hilum and micropyle facing downward and chalaza at the top]
So the micropyle of an anatropous ovule faces downward.
