Why/How did the Investiture Controversy result in the proliferation of new Christian orders, monasteries etc?

This scans as a homework question - can you please clarify the foundation for believing that the investiture controversy had any relationship to "the proliferation of new Christian orders, monasteries etc" ?

I'm happy to discuss the challenges of Church reforms of the high middle ages, but need a little more effort from OP in clarifying the basis of question.
