Detailed explanation-1: -Thigmotropism is a directional growth movement which occurs as a mechanosensory response to a touch stimulus. Thigmotropism is typically found in twining plants and tendrils, however plant biologists have also found thigmotropic responses in flowering plants and fungi.

Detailed explanation-2: -thigmotropism: plant growth or motion in response to touch. thigmomorphogenesis: the response by plants to mechanical sensation (touch) by altering their growth patterns.

Detailed explanation-3: -Thigmotropism is the directional response of a plant organ to touch or physical contact with a solid object. This directional response is generally caused by the induction of some pattern of differential growth. This phenomenon is clearly illustrated by the climbing tendrils of some plants, such as the sweet pea.

Detailed explanation-4: -Thigmotropism is when plants grow in response to touch or contact with objects. For example, vines have small tendrils that curl around walls or trellises. Plants like this don’t usually have strong stems. So, thigmotropism helps them stay upright and keep growing.

Detailed explanation-5: -Thigmotropism is plant growth response to touch. An example of this tropism is the curling of a vine tendril around objects that it touches.
