The correct pair of tropisms that describe a plant with deep roots (which grow towards moisture) and tendrils that wrap around objects (which respond to touch) is hydrotropism and thigmotropism.

  • Hydrotropism refers to the plant's growth response to moisture or water in the soil, causing roots to seek out moisture.
  • Thigmotropism refers to a plant's growth response to touch or physical contact, which is demonstrated by tendrils wrapping around objects.

So the answer is: hydrotropism and thigmotropism.
