Does light affect the way stems grow on plants?

Yes, light plays a significant role in how stems grow on plants. Plants rely on light for photosynthesis, a process that produces energy for growth and development. Insufficient light can result in elongated, weak stems, while too much light can cause stunted growth or even damage to the plant. The direction of light also influences stem growth, with plants bending towards the light source in a process known as phototropism.
