Solution

The correct option is A True
Hydrotropism is a plant's growth response to water concentrations. The response can be positive (towards the water) or negative (away from the water). Roots, for instance, are positively hydrotropic.
That means they grow towards moist soils to avoid drought stress. Once a root cap has sensed water, it bends and then the root grows towards it.

Therefore, the correct answer is option A.
