Phototropism is the growth response of plants to light, where they bend or orient themselves towards a light source. This phenomenon occurs primarily due to the distribution of the plant hormone auxin, which promotes cell elongation on the shaded side, causing the plant to tilt towards the light. Phototropism allows plants to maximize their exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis, essential for their growth and survival.
