Growing yam tendrils climb for support. This growth response is A. haptotropism B. geotropism C. phototropism D. hydrotropism E. chemotropism Detailed Solution- Haptotropism / thigmotropism is the movement or change in orientation of a plant's growth as a reaction to touch. The orienting factor is generally a hard surface that can change the direction of the plant's growth or the growth of one of its organs.- The movement of parts of a plant (especially tendrils) in response to a touch stimulus. |
