PLANT MOVEMENTS
, PLANT MOVEMENT
Plants, being fixed to soil, cannot move from place to place.
Certain parts of the plant body in response to external stimuli show physical
displacement called movement (tropism).
Tropisms occur when plants respond to external stimuli.
Tropisms are movements caused by a change in a plant’s growth pattern.
Tropisms can be negative or positive.
If the plant moves toward the stimulus, the tropism is positive.
If the plant moves away from the stimulus, the tropism is negative.
