Question

How do plants exhibit movement and respond to stimuli?

Open in App
Solution

Plants do not move on their own. However, they exhibit movement of their certain parts like leaves and roots in response to change in their immediate environment. Example: Leaves of touch-me-not curl up when touched, shoots of a plant grow towards the light and the roots grow towards gravity. Here, light and gravity are the stimuli and plant growth is the response.
