Answer 1

The correct pair of tropisms that describe the responses of a plant with deep roots and tendrils that wrap around objects is:

geotropism and thigmotropism.

• Geotropism refers to the plant's growth response to gravity, which is why the roots grow downward.
• Thigmotropism refers to the plant's growth response to touch, which explains the tendrils wrapping around objects.
