25. Tropism


This is a picture of a sunflower. This is an example of tropism. Tropism is the turning of a part of an organism or an organism itself in response to external stimulus. For examples. sunflowers respond to the sun, an external stimulus, and turn towards it. Different plants and animal respond to different external stimuli; therefore, there are different types of tropisms like hydrotropism, phototropism, etc.
