Nastic movements are those movements of plants when they respond to stimuli.They either bend towards or away the stimulus.It occurs slowly.Curvature movements are different
Nastic response occur in a part of a plant that grows towards a non-directional stimulus while Tropic response occur in a part of a plant that grows towards or away from a directional stimulus.
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).
Plants exhibit two main types of movement in response to stimuli: tropisms and nastic movements. Tropisms are directional growth responses, such as phototropism (growth towards light) and gravitropism (growth in response to gravity). Nastic movements, on the other hand, are non-directional, such as the opening and closing of flowers or the rapid movement of the Venus flytrap. Both types of movement enable plants to adapt to their environment and optimize their chances for survival.
Tropisms and nastic movements are both plant responses to external stimuli. however tropisms are depend on the direction of the stimulus nastic movements do not depend on the direction of a stimulus

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.
An example of a nastic response is the closing of a Venus flytrap's lobes when an insect touches its sensitive trigger hairs. This rapid movement is not directed toward the stimulus but occurs in response to mechanical stimulation, allowing the plant to capture its prey. Another example is the folding of a Mimosa pudica leaf when touched, which serves as a defense mechanism against herbivores.
Nastic responses are non-directional movements of plants in response to stimuli. The three key characteristics are: they are typically rapid and reversible, they occur independently of the direction of the stimulus, and they often involve turgor changes in specific cells, leading to movement. Common examples include the closing of a Venus flytrap and the drooping of leaves at night in some plants.
An example of a nastic response is the closing of the Venus flytrap when an insect touches its sensitive trigger hairs. This rapid movement is not directed toward the stimulus but occurs in response to the mechanical stimulation, allowing the plant to capture its prey efficiently. Other examples include the folding of mimosa leaves when touched and the opening and closing of flowers in response to light conditions.
Nastic movements are non-directional responses to external stimuli, triggered by changes in environmental factors like temperature or humidity. These movements are not correlated with the direction of the stimulus. Tropic responses, on the other hand, involve directional growth or movement of an organism in response to a stimulus, such as phototropism (response to light) or gravitropism (response to gravity).
Mimosa pudica exhibits thigmonastic movement, a type of nastic movement in response to touch or physical stimulus. When stimulated, the plant's leaves close up or fold in a rapid response to protect itself.
