Thigmotropism is a movement in which an organism moves or grows in response to touch or contact stimuli.
A Thigmortopism is a response to touch

Plant growth in response to touch is called thigmotropism.
Venus fly trap and the sundew plant (both carnivorous) respond to the touch of their prey. Mimosa pudica (called sensitive plant, touch-me-not, shy plant or tickleme plant) also responds to touch. The cells in the leaf quickly shed water, lose their rigidity and let the leaf droop away from the touch. After a few minutes the leaf returns to normal.

A plant that responds to touch is exhibiting thigmotropism. Thigmotropism is a response where a plant changes its growth pattern in response to touch or contact with a solid object.

It is the directional response of a plant organ to physical contact with a solid object.
The word thigmotropism refers to the turning or bending of a plant in response to a touch stimulus.
Mimosa (makahiya) have thorns to warn the animals and people not to go near them. Plants responses are called 'tropism'. The bending of the plant towards the light is called 'phototropism'. Plants response to gravity is called 'gravitropism' or 'geotropism'. The plants response to touch is called 'thigmotropism'. the response to a source of water is called 'hydrotropism'. Plants respond to 'environmental stimuli'. Plants responses to stimuli enable them to survive. These are the protective structure of a Mimosa and other behavioral adaptation of Plants.
In Biology, Thigmotropism is the turning or bending of a plant or other organism in response to a touch stimulus.
