Phototropism is the the tendency of a plant to grow towards light.

In plants , the stem shows Positive phototropism and the Roots show negative phototropism as the Stem is growing towards the sunlight i.e upwards and the roots are growing in the opposite direction to the sunlight i.e downwards.

Activity - Take a seed and sow it in a pot and put the pot in a dark room with only one light source which is placed horizontally to the plant. Then let the plant grow . After a few weeks , we can observe that the plant has bent and grown in a horizontal manner . This proves Phototropism
