The phenomenon of a plant stem turning toward the sun is known as phototropism. This type of tropism occurs as a response to light stimuli, where the plant grows towards the light source to maximize photosynthesis. Auxins, a class of plant hormones, play a key role in this process by promoting cell elongation on the side of the plant that is away from the light.
Positive phototropism, where the plant stem grows towards a source of light.
No, plants can exhibit different types of tropisms, such as phototropism (response to light), gravitropism (response to gravity), and thigmotropism (response to touch). Each tropism allows the plant to respond to its environment in a specific way.
Inherited
Gravitropism (also known as geotropism) is a turning or growth movement by a plant or fungus in response to gravity. It is a general feature of all higher and many lower plants as well as other organisms. Wikipedia
Leaves exhibit positive phototropism, which means they grow towards sources of light. This type of tropism allows leaves to maximize their exposure to sunlight for photosynthesis.
It is a tropism, specifically phototropism.
Stimulus is any kind of change in substances or in happenings, occurs in the surrounding of a living thing that bring about any kind of response from it.Tropism is the way by which plants respond to the stimuli. These kind of plant responses are either MOVEMENTS OR GROWTH of plat parts in particular directions.For Eg:-1. Leaves of 'touch me not plant' folds its leaves on our touch.2. plant roots grows towards the direction water availability.

Iris grows towards the light. That is phototropism.

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.
