Detailed explanation-1: -When light comes from an angle, plants will curve toward it to get better access to the light they need to grow. Hormones in the plant’s tissues, called auxins, make cells on the dark side of the plant grow taller, bending the plant toward the light.
Detailed explanation-2: -The plant which is kept near the window of the classroom will turn towards the direction of the sunlight. This process is known as phototropism.
Detailed explanation-3: -The plants which grow in the presence of sunlight are called heliophytes or sun-loving plants. Examples of heliophytes are mullein, thyme, white clover, and rose plants found in, rocks, meadows and mountains, and grasslands.
