Detailed explanation-1: -The movement or the growth of a plant in relation to the stimulus of water is called hydrotropic movement and the equivalent response to the stimulus of water is called hydrotropism. In this type of movement, roots show positive hydrotropic response, as they move and grow towards the water.
Detailed explanation-2: -The water eventually is released to the atmosphere as vapor via the plant’s stomata-tiny, closeable, pore-like structures on the surfaces of leaves. Overall, this uptake of water at the roots, transport of water through plant tissues, and release of vapor by leaves is known as transpiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -The survival of terrestrial plants depends upon the capacity of roots to obtain water and nutrients from the soil. Directed growth of roots in relation to a gradient in moisture is called hydrotropism and begins in the root cap with the sensing of the moisture gradient.
