Plants grow thinner in the dark due to a phenomenon called etiolation. In the absence of light, they elongate their stems and leaves to reach for available light sources, resulting in a spindly appearance. This adaptation helps them maximize their chances of finding light for photosynthesis, but it compromises their overall structural integrity and health. Without sufficient light, they cannot produce energy effectively, leading to weaker growth.
