1604 - What is a plant's response to environmental stimuli?
A plant's response to environmental stimuli is called a "reaction" or "response." It's how a plant adapts to its surroundings. Here are a few examples:
- Phototropism: Plants grow towards sunlight (like turning their leaves towards the sun).
- Thigmotropism: Plants respond to touch (like a vine curling around a support).
- Gravitropism: Plants grow in response to gravity (like roots growing down and stems growing up).
- Hydrotropism: Plants grow towards water (like roots growing towards moisture).
These reactions help plants survive and grow in their environment.
