Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Auxins are a family of plant hormones . An example of a specific auxin is IAA, which is known as Indole acetic acid. They are mostly made in the tips of the growing stems and roots, which are known as apical meristems, and can diffuse to other parts of the stems or roots.

Detailed explanation-2: -Auxin is made in the tip region of the plant stem which is made up of meristematic tissue and this hormone promotes the growth of the plant.

Detailed explanation-3: -Auxin promotes cell elongation, causing the plant to grow more on the shady side and bend in the direction of the light source.

Detailed explanation-4: -Auxins are mostly made in the tips of the shoots and roots, and can diffuse to other parts of the shoots or roots. They change the rate of elongation in plant cells, controlling how long they become.
