radiotropism

Example:The plant exhibits phototropism towards the direction of incoming photons.

Definition:A quantum of light or other electromagnetic radiation.

Example:The stem may bend in response to the direction of incoming photons, demonstrating phototropism.

Definition:The main stalk of a plant from the root to the leaves, serving as a support and conducting water and nutrients.

Example:Leaves on a plant are primarily oriented to receive the maximum amount of solar radiation, a form of phototropism.

Definition:A usually flattened green plant organ that is photosynthetic and typically a primary means of absorption of water and nutrients from soil.

Example:Sunlight induces phototropism in seedlings, causing them to grow towards the sunlight.

Definition:Light emanating from the Sun.

Example:In some species, roots exhibit phototropism by bending downwards away from light.

Definition:The underground part of a vascular plant that absorbs water and minerals from the soil and anchors the plant to the ground.
