Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -When subjected to constant directional pressure, such as a trellis, plants move to grow around the object providing the pressure; this process is known as thigmotropism. Thigmonastic responses include opening and closing leaves, petals, or other parts of the plant as a reaction to touch.
Detailed explanation-2: -Plants respond to touch-the famous examples are the shy and reclusive “touch-me-not” ( mimosa pudica ) and the rogue meat eater ‘Venus fly trap’ (d ionaea muscipula ), but beside these, just every plant responds to touch or vibrations-be if from rainfall, wind or touch.
