The reasoning that supports Brooks' explanation is that living things use resources from their environment to stay alive. In this case, the plant is using sunlight as a resource in order to carry out photosynthesis and produce energy for growth and survival. Therefore, the fact that the plant is bending towards the sun is evidence that it is a living thing using a resource to maintain its life processes.
