Summary Introduction
To write:
Definition of tropism, and examples of three common tropisms in plants.
Introduction:
Tropism refers to a phenomenon in biology, which indicates turning or growth of a biological species, generally a plant, in reply to an environmental stimulus. Though plants do not seem to move, they have developed certain strategies to permit motion in reply towards different environmental stimuli, such mechanisms are known as tropisms. There are various types of tropism, and each of them has been classified for the stimulus, which leads to the response. The most common form of tropism found in the plants is phototropism, gravitropism, and thigmotropism.
