Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -This is an example of a tropism. A tropism is a turning toward or away from a stimulus in the environment. Growing toward gravity is called geotropism. Plants also exhibit phototropism, or growing toward a light source. This response is controlled by a plant growth hormone called auxin.
Detailed explanation-2: -Tropism is when a plant moves in response to an external stimulus in the environment. Positive tropism is when a plant moves towards a stimulus. Negative tropism is when a plant moves away from a stimulus.
Detailed explanation-3: -Tropisms are growth toward or away from a stimulus. Types of tropisms include gravitropism (gravity), phototropism (light), and thigmotropism (touch).
