Answer:
- Coordination is the ability to use different parts of the plant together, smoothly and efficiently. In plants, coordination is due to the result of a chemical system, wherein plant hormones or phytohormones have a major role.

Plants, despite their lack of nerves and muscles, display well-coordinated and regulated motions. One of the most important qualities of living things is their ability to alter and shift. The development or conversion of bodily components in relation to one another might cause changes. But these aren't random or isolated motions. They're well-organized and well-controlled.
What does it mean to "coordinate?"
- Coordination is the seamless execution of one or more actions through the orderly interaction of various but interconnected elements.
- Plants employ a chemical system instead of a neurological system since they do not have one. Hormones help plants adjust their behaviour in response to environmental changes.
- Hormones help plants coordinate their growth and responses to their surroundings.
- The chemical molecules produced by activated cells are known as neurotransmitters. Hormones circulate throughout the cell.
Hormones produced by plants include the following:
- Auxins \sGibberellins
- Cytokinins
- acid abscisic
- Auxin is produced near the stem's tip and aids in plant development by lengthening cells.
- Gibberellin regulates stem development, seed germination, and blooming in plants.
- Cytokinins may be found in cell division sites, as well as fruits and seeds. Additionally, it aids in stomata opening.
- Abscisic acid stops several parts from growing and causes stomata to close.
- Phytohormones are plant hormones that regulate development and help plants coordinate their activity. Plants either have directional or nondirectional growth motions.
Moving in a certain direction
- Tropic motions refer to shifts in direction. Tropic motions occur when the stimulus is directed in a certain direction.
- Positive phototropism, which is visible in shoots, responds by bending towards the sun.
- Shoots demonstrate negative geotropism, which is when plants grow away from the earth.
- Roots bend away from the light and grow towards the earth, exhibiting negative phototropism.
- Chemotropism is the movement of plant development in response to a chemical stimulation, such as pollen tube growth toward ovules.
Movements That Aren't Directed
- The term "nastic response" refers to non-directional motions that occur when plant components move.
- Plant cells must change their form for nastic motions to occur, which are independent of growth.
- These changes occur in the inverse direction of the stimulus.
