Tropism
The responses of plants to external stimuli is called Tropism.Here are some tropisms:* Chemotropism, movement or growth in response to chemicals * Geotropism (or gravitropism), movement or growth in response to gravity * Heliotropism, movement or growth in response to sunlight * Hydrotropism, movement or growth in response to water * Phototropism, movement or growth in response to lights or colors of light * Thermotropism, movement or growth in response to temperature.
Tropic responses are called tropism. It is the growth or turning movement of plants in response to an environmental stimulus. Nastic movements are non-directional responses to stimuli, independent of the stimulus's position.
Phototropism, where the plant "turns" to arrange its leaves for better exposure to light. This process is regulated by growth regulators in the plant. Photo = light Tropism from the Greek "trope" or turning. See picture
tropism
Tropism is the movement of a plant away from or toward a stimulus. The most easily found example of tropism is a plant's response to light. Plants tend to grow toward the light. This tendency is called 'phototropism'.
Tropism is the response plants have towards external stimulus.

The word diastrophism is a noun. When plants and their parts place themselves at right angles in response to a stimulus, such as sunlight, this is called diastrophism.
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
A responsive movement of a plant that is not dependent on the direction of the stimulus is called a non-directional or non-tropic movement. Examples of non-directional movements in plants include thigmonasty (response to touch), nastic movements (response to changes in environmental conditions), and nyctinasty (response to changes in light).
Tropism is the movement of a plant away from or toward a stimulus. The most easily found example of tropism is a plant's response to light. Plants tend to grow toward the light. This tendency is called 'phototropism'.
Tropisms are the growth responses of plants where the plant grows towards or away from the stimulus. Growth towards the stimulus is a positive topism. Growth away from the stimulus is called a negative tropism.There are three main tropisms:1) The response to light is called phototropism.2) The response to gravity is called gravitropism (or sometimes geotropism).3) The third tropic response to heat is thigmotropism
Thigmokinesis is a behavioral response in which an organism moves or grows in response to touch or contact with a solid object. This can be seen in plants where they may change their growth pattern when they come into contact with a physical barrier.
