Touch-tropism, also known as thigmotropism, is a plant's growth response to touch or physical contact with objects in its environment. This phenomenon is commonly observed in climbing plants, such as vines, which can wrap around supports for stability and better access to sunlight. The response is mediated by changes in growth rates on different sides of the plant, allowing it to adapt and optimize its position. This adaptation helps plants navigate their surroundings and maximize their chances of survival.
