Solution

Plant movements:
Plant movements are curvature movements that change the orientation of different parts of a plant in response to an external stimulus.
Locomotory movements in plants occur in the cellular components.
Plant movements are categorized into growth-dependent movements and growth-independent movements. The differences between these movements are given below:
Growth Dependent Movements
Growth Independent Movements
Plant movements that occur due to unequal growth in different plant organs in response to an external stimulus are called growth-dependent movements. Plant movements that occur as an instant response to external stimuli are called growth independent movements.
Examples of growth dependent movements are tropic movements and nastic movements. Examples of growth independent movements are turgor movements.
