Auxin.
auxins
Auxin accumulates on the lower surface of the root and inhibits elongation of cells in that region.
It is the green part.Leafy part of the radish
Greater concentration of auxin in the cells facing light restrict cell elongation whereas on the other side (away from light) more elongation of cells takes place due to optimum amount of auxin. thus, the shoots turn towards light.
Phototropism is the biological process for auxin's.

Auxin controls the growth of the plant. Auxin in the roots of the plant inhibits growth whereas in the stems in the stems it encourages growth.

Weedkillers. Growth inhibitors block the transport of Auxin, a plant hormone that controls the growth process.
In phototropism, plant hormones control the growth and development of plants due to light. For example, in positive phototropism, auxin, a hormone, speeds up the rate at which plant cells grow. It builds up on the shadier side of a plant, causing those cells to grow faster than the cells on the sunny side of the plant. With longer cells on one side than the other, the stem bends toward the light.
IN PLANTS plant stems grow towards light (Auxins are plant growth hormones. They work by making cells grow longer, and divide more.) The Auxin collects on the dark side of the shoot; therefore, more growth will occur on this side of the plant. Therefore, the shoot will gradually lean towards the sun , important for photosynthesis. They need light for photosynthesis
It can be commonly found in plants but it also can occur in other organsims such as Fungi!
