Answer:
When the shoot tip of a plant bends towards the light, it is known as phototropism.
Explanation:
Phototropism is the response of a plant or particular organisms towards the light. The light acts as a stimulus for growth. The hormone present in the plants, namely auxin, facilitates the cells to grow longer as a response to the light. When the light falls on a plant, the auxin spread towards the shady area of the plants.
The phenomenon gives a curvature shape to the plant and hence, the shoot tip of the plant bends towards the light.
