Answers
Answer:
The movement of plant or other organism in response to light is called as phototropism. The movement can be either towards the light or away from it. Stem grows in direction of the sunlight (positively phototropic) and roots grows away from it (negatively phototropic). The growth is controlled by plant hormone, auxin.
The movement in any part of a plant due to light is called phototropism. The shoot of plant shows positive phototropism and roots show negative phototropism .
Phototropism in plants occurs due to the hormone auxin . When light falls on one side of a plant , the secretion of auxin hormone is more in the part away from the light . Hence , auxin causes growth in length of the cells in shady part . So the plant appears to bend towards light .
