Gravitropism is the
A
growth of a plant in response to light
B
growth of a plant in response to touch
C
growth of a plant in response to water
D
growth of a plant in response to gravity
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Gravitropism is the ability of plants to perceive and respond to the gravity vector and orient themselves accordingly. The gravitropic pathway can be divided into three main components: perception, biochemical signaling, and differential growth.

Detailed explanation-2: -Geotropism is a type of tropism where plants show some growth in response to gravity. Roots growing downwards is an example of geotropism.

Detailed explanation-3: -Gravitropism is an important plant growth response to the environment that directs shoots upward and roots downward, thereby allowing each organ to reach environments that are adequate for performance of their primary functions.

Detailed explanation-4: -Well, It is a phenomenon that is called “Gravitropism". Gravitropism is either positive which means “with gravity” or negative gravitropism which means against gravity. It is said that plant and fungi both have negative gravitropism i.e. both of them grow upwards.

Detailed explanation-5: -Plant parts can grow with or against gravity. This type of tropism is called gravitropism. Roots of a plant grow downward and exhibit positive gravitropism. Stems, on the other hand, exhibit negative gravitropism since they grow upwards and against the force of gravity (see Figure 1).
