Phototropism is the phenomenon where a living thing growing from the ground, such as a plant, grows towards the sun. This process is driven by hormones that cause cells on the shaded side of the plant to elongate, bending the plant towards the light.
If you grow the Stem in the dark then it wouldn't be healthy/wouldn't grow, and if you grow the Root not towards the ground then it will be wobbly and go ON the ground INSTEAD of going into the ground and wouldn't grow :)
Yes, the sun's light is the stimulus that causes a plant to grow towards it, a process known as phototropism. The plant's cells detect the direction of the light source and auxin hormones help to promote growth on the shaded side, causing the plant to bend towards the sunlight.
It is called "phototropism". It is caused by the destruction (by light) of chemicals (called Auxins), produced by the growing tip, that is responsible for making plants cells elongate. The side in shadow therefore elongates while the side in full Sun does not. This turns the plant growth towards the Sun.
When the Sun rises over the land early in the morning, it heats the ground which in turn heats the air. Warmer air rises, and air from over the ocean is sucked in below it to replace all that air that rose. This air movement is called a sea breeze. In the evening, the Sun is on its way down, the ground cools and falls toward the ground, pushing the air from the ocean back out over the ocean. This air movement is also called a sea breeze.
When roots and stems grow in a specific direction due to environmental stimuli, it is referred to as "tropism." Roots typically exhibit positive gravitropism, growing downward in response to gravity, while stems often show negative gravitropism, growing upward. Additionally, plants can exhibit phototropism, where stems grow toward light.

They grow toward the pond in order to get food and water.
The roots growing towards the pull of gravity are called "positive geotropism" or simply "gravitropism." This phenomenon describes how plant roots grow down into the soil in response to gravity, allowing plants to anchor themselves and seek out water and nutrients.

When a wave is coming toward a surface, it is called an incident wave.
Yes, the plant growing towards the light is an example of a living thing exhibiting a tropism, specifically phototropism. This is a plant's natural response to light as it seeks to maximize photosynthesis for energy production.
