Detailed explanation-2: -What is Phototropism? “Photo” means light, and “tropism” means turning. Phototropism is the phenomenon by which the plant bends in the direction of light. Light is required by the plants to stimulate energy production by the process of photosynthesis.

Detailed explanation-3: -Phototropism is the ability of the plant to re-orient the shoot growth towards a direction of light source. Phototropism is important to plants as it enhances the ability of plants to optimize their photosynthetic capacity.
