Hydrotropism is observed when specific plants that exhibit it grow in response to water, similar to Gravitropism, growth dependent on gravity, and phototropism, growth dependent on light. A common example of hydrotropism is found in tomato roots, as they grow specifically towards water.

What stimulates heliotropism?
Light. Heliotropism is the diurnal (daily) motion of plant parts (flowers or leaves) in response to the direction of the sun.
How does a sun flower get more sun?
Sunflowers in the bud stage exhibit heliotropism. At sunrise, the faces of most sunflowers are turned towards the east. Over the course of the day they follow the sun from east to west, while at night they return to an eastward orientation. This motion is performed by motor cells in the pulvinus, a flexible segment of the stem just below the bud. As the bud stage ends, the stem stiffens and the blooming stage is reached.Sunflowers in their blooming stage lose their heliotropic capacity. The stem becomes "frozen", typically in an eastward orientation.[citation needed] The stem and leaves lose their green color.The wild sunflower typically does not turn toward the sun; its flowering heads may face many directions when mature. However, the leaves typically exhibit some heliotropism

What is the meaning of 'heliotropism'?
The growth or movement of a fixed organism, especially a plant, toward or away from sunlight. Heliotropism can be easily seen in sunflowers, which slowly turn their large flowers so that they continually face the sun.The prefix "Helio-" is from the Greek Helios meaning "sun".
What is it called when a flowers head follows the sun?
Heliotropism or "sun tracking". Flowers and leaves that follow the sun are referred to as heliotropic. Common examples of heliotropic flowers are the snow buttercup and the sunflower. It should be noted that plants with heliotropic flowers do not always have heliotropic leaves and the converse is also true.
Can autotrophs move?
Mostly, no. Autotroph means "self-feeder" - basically, a plant. Some plants, though, exhibit heliotropism, where the stem tilts into the direction of the sun.
What are the four tropisms?
Tropism is a biological phenomenon where an organism responds to the stimulus brought by the environmental factors. Some examples include: chemotropism, heliotropism, phototropism, thermotropism and electrotropism.
Why do sunflowers lean?
Sunflowers grown in full sunlight will grow straight and tall. Leaning is caused by either the plant growing towards more sunlight (heliotropism) or a mature seed head weight the plant down slightly on one side.
