Question

Mimosa plant shows seismonastic movement.

• A. True
• B. False

Answer 1

The correct option is A True

Seismonastic Movements: These movements are brought about by mechanical stimuli such as contact with a foreign body, fast wind and rain drops etc. The leaves of Mimosa have the capability to display thigmonasty (touch-induced movement). In the sensitive plant, the leaves respond to being touched, shaken, heated or rapidly cooled. The speed of the response depends on the magnitude of the stimulus.

So, the correct answer is 'True'.
