umm im pretty sure its responce :) hop i helped A plant growing toward light is an example of positive phototropism.
Which of these external stimuli produces growth of the plant toward light?
The stimulus that produces growth of the plant toward light is called phototropism. It is caused by the presence of blue light, specifically light in the 440-470nm wavelength range, which is detected by the plant's photoreceptor molecule called phototropin. This photoreceptor triggers a signaling pathway that stimulates cell elongation on the shaded side of the plant, resulting in growth towards the light source.
What is the word for a Plant that grows towards the light?
phototropic (details from another answer) movement of or growth of plant in response to external stimulus. e.g. growth of root towards gravity - geotropism growth of shoot towards the light - phototropism hydrotropism is exhibited by lengthening of roots towards water source and finally, thigmotropism is growth towards solid objects -support by climbers

Tropism
What is the difference between taxis and tropism?
Tropism: is the growth response of a plant that results from certain stimuli. Tropism can be positive, in which case the plant will bend toward the stimulus, or negative, in which case the plant will bend away from stimulus. Taxis: Taxis in animals is the responsive movement of going toward or away from an external stimulus.

Towards. As in, phototropism. The tendency of plants to grow towards light.
