What does hydrotropism mean?
The growth of plants in response to water, causing them to bend towards the source of moisture. This phenomenon is often observed in plants that grow near water sources, such as rivers or lakes.
Example
"The hydrotropism of the plant allowed it to grow towards the stream, where it could absorb the necessary water and nutrients."
