Answer 1

Different types of movements in plants are Hydrotropism, Geotropism and Phototropism.

• Hydrotropism: The growth of plant roots towards a water source is called hydrotropism.

• Geotropism: The growth of plant roots towards soil is called geotropism.

• Phototropism: The movement of a plant towards a light source is called phototropism.

• Response to external stimuli: The folding of leaves of a mimosa plant on touch shows another type of movement.
