Question

Responses

hydrotropism and thigmotropism

phototropism and thigmotropism

geotropism and phototropism

hydrotropism and geotropism

Answer 1

The correct pair of tropisms that describe the plant's responses with deep roots and tendrils that wrap around objects is hydrotropism and thigmotropism.

• Hydrotropism refers to the growth response of a plant to moisture levels in the soil, which leads to deep root development in search of water.
• Thigmotropism is the growth response of a plant to physical touch or mechanical stimuli, which explains the tendrils wrapping around objects.
